Kauai Coffee Company
Estate Reserve – Green
Review Date: | April 1998 |
Blind Assessment
Two panelists found this coffee pleasantly "soft" and "deep," and several noted dry chocolate or smoke tones. But the majority either yawned or complained of a slight off-taste, variously described as earthy, grassy, herby, or turpenny. Whatever you call it, it dampened an already delicate profile.
Notes
A delicate profile considered soft and deep, but with a slight earthy, grassy off-taste. Originally reviewed by a panel as a green coffee. A special selection from the production of this very large farm. Most Kauai coffee comes from trees of the hybrid yellow catuai variety. Wet-processed by the aqua-pulp method.
