90	The Roasterie Kansas City, Missouri La Pira Costa Rica Geisha Natural Roast: Light Review Date: November 2010 Origin: Costa Rica Price: $11.99/12 oz.

Blind Assessment: Pungent fresh-cut fir, roasted nut and a raisiny fruit dominate in aroma and flavor, with a surprising, sweet milk chocolate developing late in the mouth and carrying into the finish. Crisp acidity, smoothly delicate mouthfeel.

Notes: This is a dry-processed or "natural" coffee, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit has been removed, as is the case with the wet-processed or "washed" coffees more typical of Costa Rica. The Roasterie is a longtime leading, quality-oriented specialty roaster that 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: A finely understated, silky light-roasted coffee with crisp nut and raisin character.

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.
