91	Kean Coffee Newport Beach, California Brazil Monte Alegre Roast: Medium Review Date: April 2012 Origin: Sul de Minas growing region, southern Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Price: $14.00/12 ounces

Blind Assessment: Straightforward, finely structured. Balanced and sweet-toned in aroma and cup, with distinct milk chocolate notes and hints of lemon, cedar and raisin. Roundly rich acidity; syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor, particularly the chocolate, carries deep into a long, clean finish.

Notes: Fazenda Monte Alegre is a distinguished 100-year old Brazil coffee farm in the admired Sul de Minas growing region. With two locations in Southern California's Orange County, Kéan Coffee is an in-house coffee roaster and retailer established by Martin Diedrich of the distinguished Diedrich coffee family.

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.
