72	Flavia Beverage Systems West Chester, Pennsylvania Espresso Roast (filterpack) Roast: Dark Review Date: January 2004 Origin: Not disclosed Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Odd profile: simple, monotoned and woody in aroma, with some hints of cocoa and orange. In the cup very flat and herby, dominated by a bitter nut sensation. The finish is both monumentally bitter and extremely astringent.

Notes: This coffee is packaged in proprietary filterpacks for the Flavia SB100 single serve brewer. Flavia ("The Cafe of Choice") is a brand of Mars Incorporated, a large privately owned company that started with its now classic candies before adding pet food (Whiskas), people food (Uncle Ben's) and vending systems, including the Flavia SB100 home single-serve brewer.
