Blind Assessment

Richly chocolaty, harmoniously juicy and bright. Dark chocolate fudge, pomelo, star jasmine, cedar, marjoram in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with complex, bittersweet acidity; full, creamy mouthfeel. Resonant, long, flavor-laden finish.

Notes

This exceptional coffee was selected as the No. 6 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2022. Produced entirely from trees of the Kona Typica variety of Arabica and grown on Hula Daddy’s lower-elevation farm; processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). 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

An exceptional Kona Typica cup deftly roasted to bring out rich dark chocolate and high-toned citrus notes in satisfying balance, with a throughline of tropical floral notes.
