Blind Assessment
Elegantly sweet-tart, richly floral, complex. Narcissus, tamarind, rice pudding, hazelnut, pink grapefruit in aroma and cup. Sparkling, vibrant acidity; plushly satiny mouthfeel. Floral-toned, multi-layered finish that carries over all the flavor notes from the cup.
Notes
This exceptional coffee was selected as the No. 12 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2024. This 100% Ka’u coffee was developed by Lorie Obra of Rusty’s, one of Ka‘ū’s best-known and most celebrated farms. Produced from trees of the Red and Yellow Bourbon varieties of Arabica and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit).

Bottom Line
A lyrically composed Bourbon (Red + Yellow = Orange) that’s driven by rich floral notes, tropical fruit and sweet nut and citrus — compellingly deep and complex.
