Blind Assessment

A gentle cup that seduces rather than imposes. Saved from the ordinary by a soft, rounded complexity and impressive dimension. Warmly pungent tones, faintly tobaccoish or herby, soften toward chocolate in the finish.

Notes

A blend of lighter- and darker-roasted beans from a Nicaraguan cooperative pursuing certified organic farming practices. Decaffeinated by the solvent-free "Swiss Water" method. A gentle cup that seduces rather than imposes. A blend of lighter- and darker-roasted beans from the same source, a Nicaraguan cooperative pursuing certified organic farming practices. The coffee was decaffeinated by the solvent-free "Swiss Water" method. From the 1998 crop. Visit www.thanksgivingcoffee.com or call 800-648-6491 for more information.

Who Should Drink It

A no-peas-under-the-mattress coffee. Environmentally correct, caffeine-free, residue-free, low in acidity, but with enough quiet intrigue to make fastidious princesses and princes want to test the mattress.
