91	Nani Kona Coffee Kailua-Kona, Hawaii Hawaii Nani Kona Private Reserve, Medium Roast Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: February 2002 Origin: Kona growing region, Big Island of Hawaii, Hawaii Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Extraordinary high-toned aromatics grapefruit, flowers, blueberry, fresh grape all carry exhilaratingly from nose through cup, where the fruit tones soften toward chocolate. Appropriately medium-bodied, with the aromatics supported by a gentle balance of sweetness and acidity.

Notes: Nani Kona is a new, well-funded Kona boutique growing and roasting operation whose trees (on two farms in the Holualoa district) are just now coming into maturity. The Nani Kona bags proclaim A Fresh Cup of Aloha Visit www.winecountrygourmet.com for more info.

Who Should Drink It: The most purist of professional palates might accuse this coffee of having gained aromatic complexity by absorbing some fermented sugars from the fruit before processing, but, if so, this was a blessed accident. A splendidly seductive coffee, reminiscent of many of the best Ethiopia wet-processed origins.

Coffee, more so than wine, is a continually changing product. Recent reviews, whether written by Coffee Review or readers, are most likely to reflect current versions of a given coffee.
