Blind Assessment

Robust and gently nut-toned. Notes of baking chocolate, dried cherry, magnolia, macadamia and cedar in aroma and cup. Gentle, round acidity; weighty, velvety-smooth body. The finish is long and flavorful, with baking chocolate and sweet nut tones and a touch of stone fruit sweetness.

Notes

Produced by Raynaldo Cancino of Cancino Family Farm, entirely of the Typica variety of Arabica and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh removed from the beans before drying). Consists entirely of peaberries, a kind of coffee bean that results when the coffee fruit develops only a single oval bean rather than the usual pair of flat-sided beans. 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 (but by no means dark) Kona Peaberry with chocolate depth and floral lift — a great choice for those who like a developed roast that preserves varietal and terroir character.
