91	Kaffe Magnum Opus Millville, New Jersey Nicaragua Matagalpa Organic Fair-Trade Roast: Medium Review Date: August 2004 Origin: Matagalpa growing region, Nicaragua Price: $10.95/12oz

Blind Assessment: Lovely, lyric coffee. Distinct apricot and milk chocolate notes in the aroma. In the cup sweet, balanced, with a delicate acidity lifting on rich undercurrents of bittersweet chocolate and apricot-toned fruit. For such a lyric coffee the finish is surprisingly long and bracing.

Notes: Matagalpa is one of the classic growing regions of Nicaragua. Certified organically grown and Fair-Traded, meaning the farmer was paid a formula-defined "fair" price for his coffee.
