Tasting Notes

Soft and sweet. Plum, Toasted coconut and dark chocolate with just a hint of citrus. Exceptionally smooth in the finish.

Background Info

A blend of pulped fermentations of Classic Typica variety coffees from small farms in Kona. The coffees are fermented with wine yeasts which adds hints of tropical fruit flavors to the natural nutty sweetness of the Typica grown here. Roasted just dark enough to soften the acidity and add a layer of dark chocolate to the experience.

Our Medium roasted version of this coffee was awarded a score of 92 points by Coffee Review:

" Blind Assessment: Deeply sweet, chocolaty. Chocolate fudge, magnolia, almond brittle, gently scorched sandalwood, marshmallow in aroma and cup. Bittersweet structure with gentle, round acidity; full, creamy mouthfeel. Chocolaty finish with almond and sandalwood undertones."

"A deep, confident darker-roasted Kona Typica that would play well with milk."
