Flavor Description

Compared to Kona's density, Kauai beans are typically more ethereal. This Yellow Catuai delivers refreshing grapefruit and lime notes, transitioning into a gentle vanilla sweetness with a crisp, clean finish — perfect for a hot afternoon.

Region Highlight

Kauai is the oldest island in the Hawaiian chain. Despite lower elevations, highly mechanized precision farming and ample rainfall ensure consistent, high-quality production.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Medium-fine grind, water temperature 91°C, ratio 1:16. A slightly larger ratio allows the refreshing fruit acidity to disperse beautifully.
  • Tip: Makes an excellent Cold Brew, highlighting the balance between chocolate and citrus.
