82	Origins Coffee Roasterie Cape Coral, Florida Nicaragua Hacienda Santa Clotilde Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: November 2004 Origin: Matagalpa growing region, Nicaragua Price: NA

Blind Assessment: A past-crop green coffee that faded badly in storage before roasting. The dominating character is a pungency that reads as sweet pine in the aroma and a rather salty spice in the cup.

Notes: A prize winner in the 2003 (last year's) Nicaragua Cup of Excellence competition, where as a green (unroasted) coffee it placed twentieth out of hundreds of entries, attracting a score of just under 85 from an international jury. Produced from trees of the caturra variety of arabica on the Santa Clotilde farm at a growing altitude of approximately 3,600 feet. Now a past-crop coffee, it unfortunately shows its age. Origins Coffee Roasterie is a small-batch wholesale and retail specialty roaster serving southwestern Florida and beyond.

Who Should Drink It: Aficionados who may want to sample a coffee that doubtless was fine when freshly shipped from origin, but now is shadowed by a distinct past-crop character.

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.
