83	Tamer International Seattle, Washington Guatemala Antigua with Coffee Tamer added Roast: NA Review Date: December 2000 Origin: Valley surrounding the city of Guatemala Antigua, south-central Guatemala. Price: NA

Notes: The acidity is definitely flattened. Unfortunately, everything else except body is flattened too, including sweetness. Pleasant tickles of flowers and spicy fruit survive, echoing in a Tums-toned emptiness. I treated each cup of an acidy, explosively floral- and fruit-toned Guatemala (originally rated over 90) with a little pre-measured packet of Coffee Tamer acid-buffering agent. The buffering agent is formulated from the same kinds of ingredients one finds

Who Should Drink It: Dropped into a powerfully distinctive coffee, like a Kenya or Guatemala, Coffee Tamer produces a muted but decent low-acid 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.
