90	Coffea Roasters Falls Church, Virginia Espresso Roast: Very-Dark Review Date: November 2009 Origin: Guatemala Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Dark chocolate, aromatic wood and an apricot-like fruit run through the profile from aroma to finish. Fat body, impressive balance and sweetness. A hint of woody astringency surfaces in the otherwise flavor-saturated finish. Maintains its chocolate and aromatic wood presence well in milk.

Notes: Run by the Solares family, Coffea Roasters is a coffee company with a presence in both Guatemala City and the Washington DC area. In addition to roasting coffee, the family also manages a coffee farm in Guatemala's Coban growing region. Visit www.coffea.com.gt or call 703-448-8058 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: Best as a straight shot, where its classic balance of aromatic wood and chocolate is clearest and most expressive.

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.
