92	The Roasterie Kansas City, Missouri Mocha Java Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: January 2010 Origin: Yirgacheffe growing region, southern Ethiopia; Harrar region, eastern Ethiopia; central Yemen. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Richly and sweetly acidy coffee with delicate complexity and depth. Cherryish fruit and nut notes in the aroma carry into the cup, with the fruit taking on a Riesling-like tart sweetness. Clean, crisp finish.

Notes: A Mocha-Java blend without the Java. This interesting if unorthodox blend combines two "natural" or dried-in-the-fruit coffees, a "Mocha" from Yemen and a Harrar from eastern Ethiopia with a second Ethiopia, a delicately bright "washed" or wet-processed coffee from the southern Yirgacheffe region. The Roasterie is a leading, quality-oriented specialty roaster that specializes in building ongoing relationships with growers and emphasizes its commitment to "air roasting," a technology utilizing a column of hot air rather than the conventional turning drum to agitate the roasting beans.

Who Should Drink It: An unusual cup, cleanly bright with hints of a deeper, wilder fruit.

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.
