90	Cafe Valverde Coffee Roasters West Newbury, Massachusetts Decaf South America Blend Roast: Medium Review Date: July 2010 Origin: Brazil; Colombia Price: $10.25/16 oz.

Blind Assessment: Roundly balanced and deep. Flowers, orangy fruit and molasses in the aroma. In the cup soft, integrated acidity, syrupy mouthfeel, with the continuing orange-toned fruit and molasses adding a distinct chocolate complication. The chocolate and molasses carry into a richly sweet finish haunted, as the cup cools, by a faint wisp of flavor-flattening wood.

Notes: This coffee was decaffeinated using a water-only method that does not involve use of a solvent. Cafe Valverde is the U.S.-based roasting partner of Invalsa Coffee, a Bolivian export/import company focused on identifying, supporting and exporting the best coffees from Bolivian small-holding farmers.

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.
