Blind Assessment
The roast dominates this delicate coffee, but pleasantly so, turning the aroma caramelly with low-toned raisin and delicate vanilla notes. In the cup a finely balanced synthesis of acidity and roast taste, sharp but sweet, with the caramel and vanilla tones persisting through the long finish.
Notes
From the north Kona growing district, on the mountainside above the town of Kailua-Kona. Farm-roasted. Visit www.konapremium.com for more info.
Who Should Drink It
Those who enjoy a prestigious name in a darker-roast style.
