85	CC's Coffee Baton Rouge, Louisiana Plantation Blend Roast: Medium Review Date: May 2004 Origin: Not disclosed Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Complex aroma: sweet chocolate, some shimmers of flowers and spicy cedar. For me the cup was contradictory rather than balanced, its sweet chocolate tones uneasily cohabiting with a sharp acidity: think sweet-and-sour chocolate. Nominating reader Woodard Springstube reports that "Plantation Blend is a long-time favorite of mine, although I like all of Community's blends."

Notes: CC's Coffee is the upscale specialty line of Community Coffee, a distinguished family-owned coffee company founded in 1919. Visit www.ccscoffee.com or call 800-535-9149 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: Those who find contradiction exhilarating.
