Tasting Notes

Dried fruit, hazelnut and dark chocolate with just a hint of citrus as espresso. Exceptionally smooth in the finish. With milk the flavors shift towards caramel and cocoa.

94 points on Coffee Review! Among their highest rated espresso blends ever.

"Balanced, chocolaty, and richly fruit-forward. Dried pineapple, dark chocolate, hazelnut brittle, magnolia, tangerine zest in aroma and small cup. Creamy mouthfeel; crisply chocolaty finish with tropical fruit undertones. In three parts milk, dark chocolate predominates, supported by tangerine zest and pineapple notes. "

Background Info

A blend of Hawai‘i Grown coffees constructed with espresso use in mind. This blend will also make for a pleasant cold brew or pour-over coffee.

Kona coffee doesn't usually make for great espresso, but by blending multiple varieties from different farms along with high-grown coffee from the neighboring Ka‘ū district  we were able to construct something that is balanced and complex. The roast degree is medium and fits in between the roast levels of our Espresso Classico and Espresso Nuevo  blends.

Great for milk drinks or as a stand alone shot. Also makes an excellent cold brew!
