Blind Assessment
Rich-toned, deeply floral. Wisteria, cocoa nib, apricot, maple syrup, pink grapefruit zest in aroma and cup. Balanced, sweet structure with juicy but elegant acidity; plush, satiny mouthfeel. The finish is all flowers supported by deep cocoa notes.
Notes
Produced entirely from trees of the Red Bourbon variety of Arabica and grown on Hula Daddy’s higher elevation farm; processed by the natural anaerobic method. This presentation of the coffee is named for co-owner Karen Paterson, whose middle name is Jue and whose favorite coffee is the Red Bourbon. Hula Daddy is a boutique coffee producer with farms at the 1,400 and 2,500-foot levels of the Mount Hualalai volcano near the northern end of the Kona growing district, five minutes above the town of Kailua-Kona.

Bottom Line
A regular, much-anticipated Hula Daddy offering, this year’s Karen J Red Bourbon is lush, deep, balanced, and refined with aromatic intrigue that plays out beautifully on the palate.
