86	PT's Coffee Roasting Co. Topeka, Kansas Decaffeinated Guatemalan SWP Roast: NA Review Date: March 2000 Origin: Guatemala. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Dry but not acidy, dominated by a pleasantly smoky-toned cocoa sensation that sweetens toward chocolate in the finish. As usual, the Swiss Water Process simultaneously deepens and dampens taste: The body is full but the flavor understated.

Notes: Dry but not acidy, dominated by a pleasantly smoky-toned cocoa sensation that sweetens toward chocolate in the finish SWP stands for Swiss Water Process, the water-only method of decaffeination. PT 's coffee is a locally award-wining, quality-oriented small-batch roaster whose motto is "Without the love, it 's just coffee."

Who Should Drink It: An unusual Guatemala taste, but not entirely uncharacteristic. "Smokiness" and "chocolate" used to be two of the epithets applied to Guatemala coffees, although I haven 't heard them used much recently. Should make a very nice drip-brewed coffee for those who like a brisk but not acidy cup. Try it unsweetened with a sweet pastry.

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.
