90	Coava Coffee Roasters Portland, Oregon Decaf Guatemala Espresso Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: May 2011 Origin: Guatemala. Price: $25.00/500 grams (17.6 oz.)

Blind Assessment: Evaluated as espresso. Sweet-toned and quietly complex: pungent fir and dark chocolate dominate, with top-note hints of lemon and flowers. Mouthfeel is smooth if slightly lean; cleanly rich, straightforward finish. At best in two parts milk, where the chocolate softens and rounds to fill out the milk nicely, complicated by continued suggestions of lemon and fir.

Who Should Drink It: Given the rigors of decaffeination, an impressively balanced and complex espresso, particularly impressive in milk.
