Semi Washed Medium Dark Whole Bean Ka’U Coffee (16 Ounce), 100% Hawaiian Award Winning Coffee By Ka`U Coffee Mill

Award Winning Hawaiian Ka’u Coffee, single estate sustainably grown at high altitude and handpicked. The soils of the district are young volcanic ash deposits from nearby Kilauea volcano; they are well drained and acidic in nature which the coffee plants love.

Semi-washed coffees are dried with the mucilage clinging to the outside of the parchment. Drying is an extremely delicate process that must be attended to constantly. Beans must be rotated, usually by raking, to ensure that they dry evenly to avoid fermentation and rot. During the drying stage the remaining mucilage dries into the core of the bean changing the final flavor profile. When processed properly, semi-washed coffees have an intense sweetness, heightened mouthfeel and rounded acidity.

Medium Dark Cupping Notes: Soft, delicate, apricot bouquet. Tangerine and milk chocolate suggestions in aroma and cup. Gently round acidity, smooth and buttery mouth feel. Flavor saturated resonant finish

Kau Coffee Mill is Hawaiian full-service coffee plantation located in the district of Kau on the Island of Hawaii. Our beans are stored green and small batch fresh roasted daily. The Hawaiian climate of the region provides sunny hot mornings, then a characteristic cloud filled afternoon with light rains. Then at night the cold mountain air flows off of Mauna Loa towards the coast cooling the region and allowing the coffee plants to store energy and sugars within the ripening beans.
