Flavor Description

Extra Fancy represents the pinnacle of Kona grading. This lot possesses an exceptionally balanced structure; the entry is rich with hazelnut and caramel sweetness, followed by a mellow acidity reminiscent of red apples. Silky mouthfeel with a lingering chocolate finish.

Region Highlight

The Kona district on the Big Island features fertile volcanic soil and the unique "afternoon cloud" phenomenon, providing natural shade that results in a mellow, non-sharp profile.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Medium grind, water temperature 88–90°C, ratio 1:15. Lower temperatures better preserve its delicate nutty sweetness.
  • Note: Beware of "Kona Blends" on the market; this is a 100% pure Kona lot with significantly more depth.
