you'll taste lemon before cocoa. this is ka'u peaberry, a hawaii from big island coffee roasters.
ka'u peaberry has tasting notes of lemon and cocoa, giving it a balance of bright citrus acidity and a softer, chocolatey undertone.
it is grown in the ka'u region of hawaii's big island and is a peaberry selection, meaning only the naturally occurring single-bean cherries are sorted and roasted together.
a pour-over or drip method tends to accentuate the lemon brightness, while a french press or moka pot will bring the cocoa notes more to the front.
