Topic: Costa Rican Terazu Los Frailes (24 lines)
1) From: Paul Goelz
Hey, this is the taste I have been searching for for years!  I once had
some "Costa Rican SHB" from a now defunct coffee store (long before I had
any idea how non-specific that appellation was) that was wonderfully full
and choccolaty (sp?) and not a bit bitter.  They folded soon after, and I
never duplicated that taste.... until now.  
Well, my first batch of Costa Rican Terazu Los Frailes is dang near the
same taste!  I roasted it to a medium roast (10 on my particular ALP), and
the first cup was terrific.  Smooth, deep, with pronounced choccolate
notes, and not a trace of bitterness.  
Strangely, while most of my coffees seem to improve with moderate aging,
this one seemed to decline very slightly.  I can't be sure, since my tase
changes noticably from one mornign to the next, but I think the choccolate
undertones have diminished a bit in the 5-6 days since I roasted.  
A terrific coffee!
