Blind Assessment
Crisp, sweet-toned, balanced. Pungent nut, orangy fruit, hint of flowers in the aroma, joined in the cup by a cocoaish chocolate note. The cocoa carries with particular distinctness into a sweet, clean finish.
Notes
This blend contains approximately 15 percent Hawaiian coffee beans from the Ka'u growing region on the Big Island of Hawaii, a newer growing region south of Kona. It attempts to persuasively extend a sensory profile based on the balanced, sweet, medium-roasted profile associated with Kona and Ka'u coffees. To my palate it succeeds. American Favorites is a collaboration between two small specialty coffee roasters and GreatCoffee.com. Visit www.greatcoffee.com or call 866-240-0033 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
Virtual beachgoers on a budget - a good value Kona-Ka'u style blend.
