Blind Assessment
Complex, multi-layered, gently fruit-forward. Grape taffy, dark chocolate, dark chocolate, almond brittle, orange creamsicle in aroma and cup. Sweet-toned structure with gently bright acidity; silky, viscous mouthfeel. Resonantly chocolaty finish with undertones of almond and orange.
Notes
Comprised of three varieties of Bourbon — red, yellow and pink — that were submerged in water with a yeast inoculation for 48 hours, then dried in the whole fruit. The lot was then cured for one month before hulling. Visit www.rustyshawaiian.com or call 808-928-8916 for more information.
Bottom Line
An unusual coffee in almost every respect: From trees of three Bourbon-related varieties of Arabica grown on the Hawaiian island of Oahu and dried in the fruit after a yeast-inoculated ferment, culminating in an original, complex cup.
