GREEN Hawaii Kona, Greenwell Estate

this is a green, unroasted typica from greenwell estate in the kona region of hawaii, sourced by sea island coffee. grown in one of the most geographically distinct coffee regions in the world, it is processed using the washed method, which strips the fruit before drying and tends to produce a cleaner, more defined cup. once roasted, it expresses milk chocolate and dark chocolate. because this is a green bean, you will need to roast it yourself before brewing. a medium roast will preserve the chocolate character without pushing it into bitterness, and filter or french press methods will highlight the clarity the washed process delivers.
