88	Capricorn Coffees San Francisco, California Organic Fair Trade Sumatra Gayoland Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: September 2004 Origin: Aceh Province, northern Sumatra Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Sweet, rich, with an impressive balance of dry acidy notes and sweetness. A combination of slightly fermented fruit and musty earthiness reads here as a fine intrigue of papaya, raisins and chocolate.

Notes: A traditionally processed Sumatra from the gigantic Gayo Mountain cooperative. Capricorn Coffees is one of the earliest established specialty coffee roasters in the San Francisco area, and in the United States generally.

Who Should Drink It: Socially concerned lovers of the ambiguous, gamey traditional Sumatra cup (Mandheling, Lintong, et. al.).

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.
