Blind Assessment

Expansively aromatic, juicy and complex. Tea rose, guava, blood orange, hibiscus and bittersweet chocolate in aroma and cup. Juicy-bright acidity; full, velvety-smooth mouthfeel. The finish is long and flavor-saturated, with black cherry, hibiscus and bittersweet chocolate notes.

Notes

This coffee earned Finalist recognition in the Experimental category, U.S. division, of the inaugural Kenneth Davids Cup. Produced by Cory and Connie Koi of Elepoki Farm, entirely of the Pacamara variety of Arabica, and processed by Miguel Meza, who inoculated the whole cherry with a dedicated malolactic bacteria culture at the beginning of the natural (dried in the whole fruit) processing. Paradise prides itself on quality and freshness, craft-roasting coffees in small batches only after orders are placed. Visit www.paradiseroasters.com or call 808-498-4048 for more information.

Bottom Line

An exceptional Hawai‘i-grown Pacamara whose malolactic natural processing contributes a rounded, almost creamy structure to vivid tropical and dark fruit, florals and chocolate, while preserving impressive clarity and balance.
