96	Cafe de Impression Kaohsiung City, Taiwan Guatemala Pandora Pacamara Medium-Light Roast Roast: Medium Review Date: December 2011 Origin: Huehuetenango growing region, northwestern Guatemala. Price: $25.00/8 ounces

Blind Assessment: Impressively complex in both structure (sweet, bitter, savory) and aromatics. Pungently rich aroma: black currant, grapefruit, cedar, roses. All carry into the cup, where the pungent, cedary citrus notes are enveloped in almost sugary sweetness. Gently bright acidity; the mouthfeel is lightish in weight but impressively silky in texture. Flavor, particularly sweet citrus, carries deeply into the finish.

Notes: Pandora is an auction lot grown on El Injerto, one of Guatemala’s most celebrated farms. This lot is comprised entirely of the Pacamara variety, a cross between the giant-beaned Maragogipe variety and Pacas, a selection of the heirloom Bourbon. By Specialty Coffee Association of America standards, this is not a medium-light roast, but rather a classic medium roast. Located in Southern Taiwan, Café de Impression is a micro roastery owned by Jeff Chang, who also specializes in importing green coffee into Taiwan.

Who Should Drink It: Unusual and distinctive profile, with the savory/sweet complexity found in the best of any given year’s Pacamara. Should please both coffee adventurers and purists. Very sensitively roasted.

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.
