90	The Roasterie Kansas City, Missouri Panama - Baru Estate Roast: NA Review Date: June 2000 Origin: Volcan Baru region, western Panama. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: A classic Central-America coffee dominated by a richly powerful acidity, a fat body, and a round, sweet, chocolaty finish.

Notes: A classic Central-America coffee dominated by a richly powerful acidity, a fat body, and a round, sweet, chocolaty finish. Baru Estate is a market name for one of the excellent coffees produced by the Café Volcan Baru mill. From the 1999 crop. The Roasterie is a wholesale roaster in Kansas City with an art deco label and consistently well-roasted coffees.

Who Should Drink It: A coffee that demands attention. A two-cup rather than three-cup breakfast coffee -- pair it with something sweet. Should be powerful enough to carry milk and anything else contributed to the cup.

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.
