82	Rao's Coffee Roasting Amherst, Massachusetts Espresso Viennese Roast: Dark Review Date: April 2002 Origin: Not disclosed. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: In the small cup sharp, bitter astringency overpowers hints of malty chocolate and dried fruit. Remains sharp and thinly bitter in small volumes of milk; in larger volumes softens to an expansive milk chocolate. (80 straight espresso, 84/milk.)

Notes: Rao's is a quality oriented specialty roaster with an informative website and an unusually extensive selection of single-origin coffees. Visit www.raoscoffee.com or call 1-413-253-9441 for more info.

Who Should Drink It: In milk this is a tall latte drinker's espresso; in the small cup take it with sugar.
