這款厭氧日曬台灣瑰夏咖啡,展現了高海拔風土與精確發酵所塑造的獨特風味:
荔枝
百香果
白茉莉
烏龍茶
熟杏桃
紅糖甜感
咖啡液帶有獨特的絲滑、茶感質地,讓人聯想到生長在相同山坡上的高山烏龍茶,並帶有濃郁的熱帶水果風味、活潑的花香,以及悠長而乾淨的餘韻。
金韻鑫茶咖啡莊園位於台灣阿里山山區——該地區以生產亞洲最珍貴的高山烏龍茶而聞名全球。莊園由一個茶農家庭經營,他們將在高海拔種植和發酵方面的專業知識轉向精品咖啡,將製茶的理念應用於生產的每個階段。
阿里山海拔超過 1,200 公尺,籠罩在涼爽的晨霧中,並擁有火山礦物土壤。這些條件與使阿里山烏龍茶如此受歡迎的條件幾乎相同——減緩了咖啡櫻桃的成熟速度,並濃縮了咖啡豆中的芳香化合物。成果是具有非凡清晰度、內斂性和芳香複雜性的咖啡。
台灣每年生產的精品咖啡量非常少,而且這種品質的批次很少進入國際市場。這是我們迄今為止尋獲的最獨特的產區之一。
在厭氧日曬處理法中,完整的咖啡櫻桃在置於高架床乾燥之前,會先密封在無氧發酵罐中。在無氧的環境下,發酵過程以較慢、受控的速度進行,產生複雜的有機酸和芳香化合物,從而增強咖啡的天然水果風味,同時保持品種的清晰度。
金韻鑫將其製茶專業知識直接應用於發酵管理:以與高山茶生產相同的精確度監控溫度、pH 值和發酵時間。成果是具有卓越一致性、濃郁水果風味和莊園標誌性乾淨茶感的批次。
這款咖啡適合以突出細膩感、芳香提升和茶感質地的方式沖煮:
手沖(V60、Origami)
建議使用軟水以提升清晰度
愛樂壓(AeroPress)使用較低水溫可獲得甜度和水果風味
沖煮水溫 195–200°F。建議使用鬱金香形狀的杯子或茶器盛裝,以充分欣賞其芳香複雜性。這款咖啡也適合製作冷萃咖啡——荔枝和百香果的風味會顯著增強。

Kona Coffee FAQs-Roasting, Sourcing, and Shipping
Find answers to common questions about our 100% Kona coffees, roasting schedule, shipping times, and sourcing practices.
Kona coffee grows on the volcanic slopes of Hawai‘i Island, where mineral-rich soil, afternoon cloud cover, and slow cherry maturation create a naturally sweet and balanced cup. Our Kona Classic Medium is sourced from high-elevation farms and hand-harvested for clarity, smoothness, and elegant sweetness.
Yes — this roast is Authentic Kona coffee made exclusively from North Kona district-grown coffees, never blended. Our Kona coffees comes from small farms at the highest altitudes in the region.
Medium roasts highlight Kona’s signature profile: gentle sweetness, soft citrus, toasted almond, and milk chocolate. The result is a balanced, approachable cup ideal for everyday brewing.
This coffee shines in pour-over, drip, and French press. Use filtered water just off the boil and a medium grind for maximum clarity and sweetness. If you are looking for a Hawaiian coffee for espresso use we recommend our Hawai‘i Island Blend
Kona is the highest labor cost coffee region in the world. Wages for farm workers here are 15-20x higher than almost all other coffee producing countries. Limited and expensive land, hand-picking, and high production costs create a naturally small supply each year — especially from high-elevation farms like those we partner with.
We roast and fulfill all of our coffee orders in Hilo, Hawai'i.
We roast in small batches using a Diedrich IR12 roasting machine.
We source an array of the top specialty coffees worldwide that appeal to an array of different palates.
If at any point you have difficulty brewing, or just appreciating one of our roasted coffees, no problem. Shoot us an email within 5 days of receiving your coffee and we'll help you find the correct brew settings for your coffee, or give you a credit (minus actual shipping costs) on your next purchase. Yep, we're a Satisfaction Guarantee coffee company!
Please note, our Satisfaction Guarantee only applies to U.S. orders of roasted coffees, and you must contact us within 5 days of receiving the coffees. Credits do not include actual shipping fees, which may be different from posted shipping fees.
We roast and ship on Monday/Wednesday/Friday.
Our commitment to you is to serve exceptional, fresh-roasted coffees. And part of being exceptional means roasting before the flavors inherent in the green bean begin to fade, which happens over time.
Like apples and pumpkins, coffee is a seasonal agricultural product and each country has a different harvesting cycle in which coffees are at their peak. If we were to insist on serving a single origin all year long, the flavors in that coffee would be noticeably better one half of the year over the other. So the reason you no longer see that coffee you loved is because the optimal season has passed. For more on seasonality in coffees, see this blog post here.
Hopefully so. If it was a popular product or we receive customer requests, we will make every attempt to bring it back. However, please note that coffees from a certain producer may not taste the same year after year.
If you loved a coffee and no longer see it listed, shoot us an email and ask us what is similar. We’d be happy to provide a personal recommendation.
We aim for balance and completeness along with differentiation and distinction. You shouldn't need to be a professional coffee taster to tell the coffees a part, so, when we’re selecting coffees, we want them to be distinct from each other.
We avoid ”one-trick pony” type coffees, such as Ethiopians with great aroma but no body or acidity, or coffees with good aroma and acidity but lacking sweetness. These elements, which are often reflections of the growing conditions, are harmonized through good roasting.
And, obviously, defects — even subtle defects — influence our selection. Since we live and work at origin, we’re sensitive to coffee defects like “past crop”, pulpy, and naturals that border on over-ferment. With naturals, we’ll only carry these when great examples are available.
Our perspective on roasting is similar: we seek balance and distinction. To expect that a coffee is “best” when roasted to some pre-determined degree (i.e. only light roasting or only dark roasting) is analogous to thinking that each person would look best in the same outfit, or each coffee should be grown in the same way. We believe it’s our job to discover the roast degree which best highlights outstanding qualities in each coffee.
