Blind Assessment
Sweet-toned, chocolaty and rich. Dark chocolate, strawberry guava, almond brittle, cedar, freesia in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with bright, engaging acidity; full, creamy mouthfeel. Finish consolidates to notes of dark chocolate, almond and freesia.
Notes
Produced by Kona Farm Direct, entirely of the Kona Typica variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Kraig and Leslie Lee have been growing and harvesting traditional Kona Coffee for over 25 years. In 2017, they introduced several distinguished new tree varieties to their 4.7-acre farm.

Bottom Line
A lively, balanced washed Kona cup with a dark chocolate throughline supported by tart fruit and spice-toned floral notes.
