86	Nandipura Coffee Bangalore, India India Full City Roast Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: August 2002 Origin: Baba Budan Giri growing region, southern India. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Both Ken and Chris find the aromatics and body of this dark roast impressive but the finish distracting. Ken: "Superb aroma, intense, sweet dark-roast character with shimmers of tart grapefruit and milk chocolate. The roast taste pleasantly dominates in the cup but turns charred in the finish" (rating 84). Chris: "Opens with nutty, caramel candy; smooth body in the cup. Cools to a touch of earthy, metallic flavor" (rating 87).

Who Should Drink It: Those who will put up with a problematic finish for the sake of an impressively aromatic, big-bodied dark-roast cup.
