Blind Assessment
Balanced, complex, rich-toned. Cocoa nib, pluot, tangerine zest, star jasmine, lemon verbena in aroma and cup. Deeply sweet, high-toned structure with juicy, vibrant acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. The long, resonant finish maintains the multi-layered notes from the cup.
Notes
SL28 and SL34 are varieties famous for producing the great coffees of Kenya. The trees that produced this coffee were formerly thought to consist of the SL28 variety, but have now been determined through DNA analysis to be SL34. It was grown at the higher elevation Hula Daddy farm and processed with the fermentation step conducted “dry” (no water added to the tank) using commercial yeast. It is a limited-edition coffee only available for sale through the allocation list on the Hula Daddy website. Visit www.huladaddy.com or call 888-553-2339 for more information.
Bottom Line
A Kona coffee worth its price: elegant and sophisticated, balanced and bright, juicy and smooth.
