Flavor Description

Ka'u is Hawaii's most exciting region. Departing from Kona's traditional profile, this natural Typica explodes with jasmine florals and ripe strawberry. It features a syrupy sweetness mid-palate and a lingering white tea finish.

Region Highlight

Located on the southern side of the Big Island, Ka'u is dominated by smallholders focused on meticulous processing. Higher elevations and cooler nights produce more complex acidity than typical Kona lots.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: V60 dripper, water temp 92°C. Use pulse pouring to highlight the aromatic volatile compounds.
  • Tip: A competition-grade Hawaiian coffee for those seeking peak floral and fruit profiles.
