Blind Assessment
Roundly delicate aroma: chocolate and caramel notes with suggestions of flowers and ripe tomato. In the cup silky mouthfeel and a classic profile: tart fruitiness enveloped in a giddy sweetness that harbors continued hints of chocolate and flowers. Clean, sweet - almost sugary - finish.
Notes
Peaberries result when the coffee fruit develops only a single, oval bean rather than the usual pair of flat-sided beans. Peaberries produce a somewhat different (often better) cup than normal beans from the same crop, from which they may or may not be separated during grading. Bayview Farm is one of Kona's leading coffee mills. It roasts the two highest grades of its production, Peaberry and Extra Fancy, at the mill and retails them at its visitor center and online. Visit
Who Should Drink It
Aficionado purists in pursuit of a classic Kona cup. To put anything into this coffee except your mouth would be a sacrilege.
