85	Seattle's Best Coffee Seattle, Washington Henry's Blend Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: February 2004 Origin: Not disclosed Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Straightforward, simple but satisfying dark-roast: cleanly roasty, pleasantly smoky but without burned or excessive bitterness. In cup and finish the roastiness takes on a toasty, campfire chocolate character.

Notes: Seattle's Best Coffee is a large, pioneering specialty roaster-retailer chain established in 1970 and now owned by Starbucks Coffee. Henry's Blend, apparently named after a cat in earlier, less formal days, is one of SBC's best-known blends. Visit www.seabest.com or call 800-962-9659 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: A classic old-fashioned Seattle-style dark roast, simple and robust.

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.
