Blind Assessment
Evaluated as espresso. Richly sweet, crisply chocolaty. Dark chocolate, hazelnut, candy apple, orange zest, fresh-cut cedar in aroma and cup. Satiny-smooth mouthfeel; resonant, chocolaty finish with hazelnut undertones. In three parts milk, chocolate notes are amplified but remain in balance with hazelnut and cedar suggestions.
Notes
Produced and roasted at Kona View Farm by Randy Phillips. Consists entirely of the Kona Typica variety of Arabica processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Kona View Coffee is a farm and roastery in Holualoa, Hawai’i. Visit www.konaviewcoffee.com for more information.
Bottom Line
A 100% Kona Typica espresso that’s richly chocolaty, deeply sweet, balanced and inviting, both in the straight shot and in milk.
