88	Equator Estate Coffees & Teas San Rafael, California Nicaragua Segovia Organic/Fair Trade Roast: NA Review Date: September 2000 Origin: Nueva Segovia Department, Nicaragua. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Subdued, low-toned, smooth, full, round. Very little at the top of the profile, but a rich, fat fruitiness in the middle. Giddy suggestions of guava darkened toward cocoa and cherry as the cup cooled.

Notes: Subdued, low-toned, smooth, full, round. Very little at the top of the profile, but a rich, fat fruitiness in the middle. Certified organically grown and Fair Trade Certified. From the admired Prodocoop cooperative of over 1,000 peasant farmers. Equator is a quality oriented small batch roaster located north of the Golden Gate Bridge in the San Francisco Bay area specializin

Who Should Drink It: Lovers of port, old brandy, and wide-wale corduroy. The fruit is deep, suggestive, and somehow meaty, like the flesh of ripe cherries.
