80	Jeremiah's Pick Gourmet Coffee San Francisco, California Fogbuster Blend Roast: Very-Dark Review Date: June 1999 Origin: Various Price: NA

Blind Assessment: A pleasantly charred sweetness, buoyant and almost floral, dominates at first. As the cup cools the sweetness recedes and the bitter side of the dark-roast cup prevails.

Notes: Pleasantly charred sweetness, buoyant and almost floral. Jeremiah's Pick is one of several young coffee companies in Northern California that roast in the regional dark-roast tradition. Although this blend was not billed as a "French roast," its Agtron reading and flavor profile both put it on the outer fringe

Who Should Drink It: Film-noir and fog fans. I imagine Bogart drinking it at an Ocean Beach diner when the blonde first slinks in: fundamentally bitter with a deceptive sweetness at the beginning.

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.
