kona tropical punch espresso is a washed typica from the kona region of hawaii, roasted light by paradise coffee roasters. because it's washed, the cup stays clean and fruit-forward, with tropical fruit, jasmine, and floral notes up front, a winey quality in the middle, and brown sugar, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and macadamia rounding out the finish. a black tea, tea-like quality keeps it from feeling heavy. as a light roast pulled as espresso, lower brew temperatures and slightly longer extraction times help coax out the fruit and floral complexity without pushing bitterness. it will also reward a careful pour-over if you want to explore the tea-like and floral side.
