Blind Assessment

Deeply sweet, richly developed. Dark chocolate, black cherry, roasted hazelnut, orange peel, cedar in aroma and cup. Surprisingly lively acidity for the roast level; full, velvety-smooth body. The finish is long, resonant and cocoa-driven.

Notes

This 100% Ka’u coffee was developed by Lorie Obra of Rusty’s, one of Ka’u’s best-known and most celebrated farms. Produced from trees of the traditional Typica variety and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried).

Bottom Line

A masterfully executed dark roast that preserves the Ka‘ū origin’s inherent sweetness and complexity while delivering impressive depth and richness.
