Blind Assessment

Ethereal, precise, sweetly floral. White peach, jasmine, Meyer lemon, toasted almond and raw honey in aroma and cup. Delicate, satiny mouthfeel with a crisp citric acidity that brightens without sharpening. The finish is clean and lingering, with white peach and honey persisting into the long.

Notes

Produced entirely from trees of the Kona Typica variety of Arabica and grown on Hula Daddy’s lower-elevation farm; processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Hula Daddy is a boutique coffee producer with farms at the 1,400 and 2,500-foot levels of the Mount Hualalai volcano near the northern end of the Kona growing district, five minutes above the town of Kailua-Kona.

Bottom Line

A washed Kona Typica from Hula Daddy's lower-elevation farm that translates the variety's classic restraint into a cup defined by floral clarity, luminous fruit, and a finish of uncommon length — understated in character and compelling throughout the profile.
