Refreshingly fruity, with a vibrant acidity. Passionfruit, Black Grape Guava.

Background Info
Our signature washed process and an evolution of the Tropical punch washed we introduced in 2021. Several fermentations are blended together to create an overall flavor perception similar to fruit punch. This season we are using 4 yeast strains. Some provide Tropical fruit notes, while others add more cherry, grape, and berry like flavors.
The cherries are pulped and then fermented in sealed bags, each one with a different yeast strain in it. After fermentation and drying separately, the coffees are blended back together for milling.
This batch of Tropical Punch Washed we made from Red Catuai and Red Bourbon from Miranda farms southpoint farm at 2000-2100ft elevation
This coffee has proved very popular at our Hilo, Hawaii retail shop and is refreshing hot or cold.
