Blind Assessment
Light-roasted, but brought along just enough to develop the delicate richness of a pure, subtle coffee. Gently pungent, orange-toned citrus in the aroma turns lushly orange-blossomy in the cup, complicated by a hint of cocoaish chocolate. Rich, flavor-saturated finish.
Notes
Ka'u is a newly emerging Hawaii coffee growing district centered thirty miles or so south of the famous Kona region. Ka'u farmer Lorie Obra meticulously picks, processes and roasts her coffees using traditional methods and artisan attention. Visit www.rustyshawaiian.com or call 808-928-8916 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
For many, this will be the quintessential Hawaiian coffee, fragrant, balanced, softly lively.
