Blind Assessment

Tropical, floral, and fruit-toned. Star jasmine, lychee, dark chocolate, cashew butter, sandalwood in aroma and cup. High-toned structure with vibrant acidity; very full, satiny mouthfeel. Fruit-toned finish with undertones of cashew and sandalwood.

Notes

Produced by Leo Norberte of JN Coffee Farm, entirely of the Red Bourbon variety of Arabica, and processed by a proprietary method, called “champagne natural,” in which a wine yeast strain is added to the fermentation process. Paradise Roasters specializes in micro-lot Arabica and Robusta coffees from Asia and other emerging origins. Paradise prides itself on quality and freshness, craft-roasting coffees in small batches only after orders are placed. Visit www.paradiseroasters.com or call 763-433-0626 for more information.

Bottom Line

An intoxicatingly aromatic Hawai’i Red Bourbon processed by an experimental method that results in a balanced, juicy cup.
