89	Diedrich Coffee Irvine, California Fazenda Sao Domingos Roast: Medium Review Date: May 2002 Origin: Sul de Minas growing region, Minas Gerais State, Brazil Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Bright and crisp but delicately sweet. An unusual but quite appealing combination of chocolate and grapefruit tones makes its invigorating, seductive presence felt from nose to finish.

Notes: As a green coffee, a 2001 Brazil Cup of Excellence competition winner. This coffee, from the classic Brazilian growing region of south Minas Gerais, is a pulped natural or semi-dry- processed coffee, meaning the skin was removed from the fruit but the fruit pulp was allowed to remain clinging to the beans during drying. The pulped natural method generally produces a low- key but gently bright, often fruity cup. Diedrich Coffee is a publicly traded, quality-oriented specialty chain headquartered in California that benefits from the coffee leadership of Martin Diedrich, a third-generation member of a family of coffee growers and roasters.

Who Should Drink It: Rich dessert eaters. This subtle, tart-but-sweet, refreshing coffee should nicely balance full-bore pastries and desserts.

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.
