Blind Assessment: Fruit-forward, high-toned. POG (pineapple, orange, guava), cocoa nib, freesia, cashew, lemon verbena in aroma and cup. Richly bittersweet structure with bright acidity; silky, very smooth mouthfeel. Crisp fruit-toned finish.

Notes: Produced by Miranda Farms and JN Farms, from the Red Catuai and Red Bourbon varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method with the addition of yeasts during the fermentation process. Paradise prides itself on quality and freshness, craft-roasting coffees in small batches only after orders are placed. Visit www.paradiseroasters.com or call 763-433-0626 for more information.  

The Bottom Line: A playful, aptly named blend of washed-process coffees from two different Ka‘ū farms, fermented with several yeast strains and redolent of tropical fruit and cocoa nib.
