68	India Betta Crown Blue Pearl NA Var. S4345 - Green Roast: NA Review Date: January 2001 Origin: Hassan region, Chikmagalur District, Karnataka State, southern India. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: A coffee flawed by a veritable anthology of processing taints: harsh, musty, dirty, with an unpleasant old vegetable taste that one panelist described as "dirty carrots." Somebody was not minding the mill when this coffee came in from the fields. A traditionally wet-processed or "washed" coffee grown under shade at elevations of 3,000 to 3,500 feet. From the contemporary hybrid variety S4345.

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.
