Blind Assessment
Lushly sweet, rich-toned, balanced. Cocoa nib, gardenia, honeydew melon, sandalwood, allspice in aroma and cup. Juicy, sparkling acidity; vibrant, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Resonant, perfumed, engaging and very long finish.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, from trees of the Typica, Bourbon and Caturra varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed 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
A lavish, immersive Kaʻū cup with a candylike sweetness complicated by warm spice and cocoa notes — an experience that will invite your full attention.
