This coffee is a Typica Peaberry from Elepoki Farm in the Wood Valley area of Kaʻū, Hawaiʻi, grown at an altitude of 1800–2100 feet. It is a washed coffee that offers a clean, structured profile with bright acidity and a silky body. Tasting notes include red apple, lemon, and sugar cane. This light roast is developed to emphasize clarity and transparency, making it an excellent choice for pour-over, auto-drip, or AeroPress brewing methods.
