Blind Assessment

High-toned, tropical, exquisitely balanced. Orange blossom, cocoa nib, guava, young ginger, cedar in aroma and cup. Juicy-bright yet delicate acidity; silky-smooth mouthfeel. Long, resonant finish that fulfills the promise of the cup.

Notes

Produced at Noelani Farm, entirely of the Geisha variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). 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

A Hawaiian-grown Geisha that evokes the finest Geishas of Panama in much the way certain coastal Sonoma Chardonnays approach world-class Chablis. It’s elegant, confident, multi-layered and lyrically coherent.
