90	Doi Chaang Coffee Calgary, Alberta, Canada Doi Chaang Wild Civet Coffee Roast: Medium-Light Review Date: June 2009 Origin: Northern Thailand. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Intriguing mid-tones throughout the profile: mainly a sort of orangy, floral citrus with a backgrounded complex simultaneously suggesting fresh earth, mushroom and decomposing leaves. All of this takes on a vaguely chocolaty tone in the finish. Gently smooth acidity, medium body.

Notes: Doi Chaang is a single-estate coffee produced by a northern Thailand hill tribe in the Golden Triangle mountains of Thailand and roasted in Alberta, Canada. The independent coffee growers receive over 50% of the profits of this unusual and pioneering venture. In addition to its excellent conventional arabica coffees, the cooperative members harvest about 200 pounds per year of a Thai version of the famous (or infamous) kopi luwak, the world's most expensive coffee, the beans of which are harvested from the feces of a species of wild civet that eats ripe coffee fruit.

Who Should Drink It: Culinary adventurers who can afford the price of this exotic coffee and have tasted enough other coffees to appreciate its originality, an aroma/flavor complex both refreshingly pure yet richly suggestive of earth and decomposition.

Coffee, more so than wine, is a continually changing product. Recent reviews, whether written by Coffee Review or readers, are most likely to reflect current versions of a given coffee.
