Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Deep-toned, richly sweet, multilayered. Dark chocolate, vanilla panna cotta, hazelnut, narcissus, pink peppercorn in aroma and small cup. Syrupy-smooth mouthfeel; chocolaty, sweetly nutty finish. In cappuccino format, dessert-like in its chocolaty sweetness, with a hint of pink peppercorn underneath.

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

A deftly darker-roasted Kona that remains shy of second crack, so you get depth without harshness — as both straight shot and cappuccino, it’s rich-toned, super-sweet and invitingly complex.
