Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Richly chocolaty, sweetly nut-toned. Dark chocolate, hazelnut, sorghum, date, magnolia in aroma and cup. Crisp, velvety mouthfeel; nutty, floral finish. In cappuccino format, floral-toned and richly chocolaty.
Notes
Produced entirely of the Typica variety of Arabica and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh removed from the beans 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
This 100% Ka’u is roasted to medium dark and exhibits rich chocolate, sweet floral and creamy nut tones throughout — especially nuanced in milk.
