Blind Assessment

Sweet-toned, fruit-forward. Raspberry, cedar, baker’s chocolate, gardenia, molasses in aroma and cup. Bittersweet structure; velvety mouthfeel. The crisp, gently drying finish leads with notes of chocolate-toned berries in the short, and spicy-sweet florals and aromatic wood notes in the long.

Notes

Certified organic. Produced entirely from trees of the Kona Typica variety of Arabica. This is a “natural” or dry-processed coffee, meaning the beans were dried inside the fruit, encouraging a flavor profile that is sweeter and deeper-toned than profiles associated with the more typical wet or “washed” process (fruit is removed before drying). Hala Tree Coffee is a family-owned organic Kona coffee farm located near Captain Cook village, in the heart of the Kona coffee belt, overlooking historic Kealakekua Bay. The USDA organic-certified property now produces 100% Kona coffee that is processed and roasted on site to ensure quality in each bag of coffee. For more information, visit www.halatreecoffee.com.

Bottom Line

A fruit-driven, but crisp natural-processed Kona cup that’s also certified organic.
