90	Coffee Masters Spring Grove, Illinois Cup of Excellence El Salvador Brasil Roast: Medium Review Date: November 2004 Origin: El Salvador Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Sweet, low-toned, resonant in dimension. Distinct raisin and milk chocolate notes in the aroma. In the cup big-bodied and creamy, with a tightly woven, deep-toned, caramel- and chocolate-toned complexity.

Notes: A prize winner in the 2004 El Salvador Cup of Excellence competition, where as a green (unroasted) coffee it placed eighth out of hundreds of entries, attracting a score of just under 89 from an international jury.
