Blind Assessment
Richly floral, high-toned. Wisteria, dried peach, cocoa nib, tangerine, oak forest in aroma and cup. Delicately tart acidity; plush, silky mouthfeel. A resiny myrrh-like note emerges in the flavor-saturated finish.
Notes
Produced at Elepoki Farm, entirely of the Yellow Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Big Island Coffee Roasters is an award-winning coffee roaster operated with hands-on passion by Kelleigh Stewart and Brandon von Damitz. Visit www.bigislandcoffeeroasters.com for more information.
Bottom Line
An exuberant, confident, multilayered and precisely nuanced washed Kaʻū Yellow Bourbon.
