Blind Assessment
Richly aromatic, deep-toned. Wild honey, plumeria, white tea, peach, frankincense in aroma and cup. Bright, complex, juicy acidity; delicate, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Very sweet, multi-layered, resonant finish.
Notes
Produced by Franck Carisey, entirely of the SL34 variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried) with the addition of yeast during fermentation. Big Island Coffee 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 uniquely composed Kona-grown SL-34 processed with Champagne yeasts for a complex, nuanced, flavor-saturated cup.
