87	O'Henry's Coffees Homewood, Alabama African Classic Roast: Dark Review Date: May 2004 Origin: East Africa Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Low-key, bittersweet and roasty in the aroma with suggestions of apple and charred cedar. In the cup sweet floral top notes float almost irrelevantly over the rather densely monotoned, pungently dark-roast heart. The cup softens and sweetens as it cools, however, allowing the floral notes to bloom in pleasant counterpoint to the pungency.

Notes: This darker-roasted blend of East Africa coffees is one of the current "Roastmaster's Recommendations" featured on the O'Henry's Coffees Internet site. Visit www.ohenryscoffee.com or call 205-870-1198 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: Those lovers of dark roasts who enjoy a compensating arabesque of floral sweetness.
