87	New Harvest Coffee Roasters Rumford, Rhode Island Organic Timor Maubesse Roast: Medium-Light Review Date: December 2003 Origin: East Timor Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Crisp, wine- and cherry-toned fruit dominate in both aroma and cup. A delicate mustiness reads as leather and sweet pipe tobacco. The rather heavy finish lightens and sweetens as the cup cools.

Notes: East Timor is recovering from the ravages of its recent war of independence from Indonesia, and its malty, rich, low-key organic coffees are beginning to reappear on the market. Maubesse is a grade name. Shade-grown and certified organically grown. New Harvest is a quality-oriented small batch roaster specializing in organic and Fair-Trade coffees.

Who Should Drink It: Lovers of traditional Sumatras, who should enjoy this elegant variant on the apples and leather theme.

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.
