Blind Assessment

Cedar, plum, almond, and a delicate, sweet-toned dark chocolate in aroma and cup. The chocolate moves forward and gracefully dominates in the cup. Soft, roast-rounded acidity; silky mouthfeel. Chocolate sweetness balances a slight roasty astringency in the finish.

Kona Café is an award-winning coffee farm that sells roasted versions of its 100 percent Kona coffee under the Naupaka as well as the Kona Café brand.
