Tasting Notes

Soft and sweet. Toasted nuts and milk chocolate with just a hint of citrus. Exceptionally smooth in the finish.

Background Info

Harvested at Black Rock farms in Kona, a recently planted 10 acre coffee farm overlooking Kealakekua bay we manage. 

Double washing sometimes called 'Kenya style' processing is a multistep variation on washed processing. The coffee is pulped and fermented, then rinsed and the coffee then soaked underwater for extended time before proceeding to drying. In Kenya this soaking step is often used to hold the coffee in peak season while waiting for more drying space to become available. And unintentionally may help to contribute to the excellent quality their coffees are known for.

This results are an exceptionally clean and smooth coffee. Sweeter, more delicate in mouthfeel with more noticeable acidity.
