尼加拉瓜瑰夏香檳日曬
這款來自拉斯德利西亞莊園的瑰夏是日曬處理法的精緻典範——明亮、芳香、精心調配。儘管許多日曬瑰夏偏重於濃郁的果香或發酵風味，這款咖啡卻強調清晰、平衡和優雅，以多層次的柑橘和水果風味為基礎，並輔以溫和的甜味。
這款咖啡的開頭活潑而富有表現力，隨後過渡到順滑、圓潤的餘韻，感覺細緻而完整。
產地與莊園
拉斯德利西亞莊園是一個佔地 12 公頃的莊園，由Eleane Mierisch於 2016 年建立，位於 Mierisch 家族在尼加拉瓜所擁有莊園的最高海拔處。莊園坐落在金諾特加地區的阿帕納斯湖上方，得益於較低的日間和夜間溫度，這延緩了咖啡櫻桃的成熟並保留了酸度。
這裡的咖啡樹生長在柑橘和番石榴遮蔭樹下，並經過細緻的採摘。如今，Eleane 的遺產由她的姪子Erwin Mierisch III 和商業夥伴Geoconda Padilla 繼承，他們繼續以同樣的精準和價值觀管理莊園。
香檳日曬處理法
這款咖啡是專為 Paradise 獨家生產的，採用了我們自 2019 年開始開發的香檳日曬處理法，一種受控的自然發酵方法。
成熟的咖啡櫻桃經過消毒和漂浮，然後將整顆櫻桃放入密封的生物反應器中發酵，並接種精選的葡萄酒酵母菌株。經過數天的發酵，發酵過程增強了香氣的複雜性和果味表達，同時保留了結構。發酵結束時，咖啡櫻桃變得酥脆且略帶氣泡感——呼應了香檳的特點。
然後，咖啡櫻桃會整顆進行乾燥，接著在乾燥的櫻桃中進行靜置，最後再進行去殼。這種緩慢而有意的處理方式，造就了一款富有表現力卻又均衡，且沒有過度發酵風味的日曬瑰夏。
咖啡風味
明亮的柑橘風味主導著這款咖啡，帶有前調的百香果和柚子，接著是甜櫻桃。隨著咖啡的冷卻，柔和的牛奶巧克力香調浮現，平衡了酸度並增加了餘韻的深度。
酸度活潑卻圓潤，由絲滑的口感和乾淨、持久的甜味所承載。
烘焙風格
採用中淺度烘焙，以保留熱帶水果風味和酸度，同時讓甜味和巧克力風味得以發展。烘焙旨在整合而非放大自然處理法——平衡、透明、精緻。
沖煮建議
-
手沖 (V60, Kalita)：凸顯柑橘、花香和清晰度
-
Chemex：強調平衡和甜度
使用過濾水和適度萃取，以保持結構並避免過度強調酸度。

What Is 100% Kona Coffee?
100% Kona coffee refers to coffee grown exclusively in the Kona district of Hawai‘i Island — a small, volcanic region
along the western slopes of Hualālai and Mauna Loa. The combination of mineral-rich soil, afternoon cloud cover, and gentle trade winds produces one of the world’s most distinctive coffee terroirs.
To be labeled “100% Kona Coffee,” every bean must be grown within the Kona district and meet strict Hawai‘i grading quality standards. Kona coffee can be made from different arabica varieties, but Kona Typica — a heirloom lineage — remains the region’s most common and traditional cultivar.

About Kona Coffee
-
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.

Coffees
-
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.
