Hawaii Puna Anaerobic Washed

Summary

A coffee from the Arakawa estate in Kurtistown, Puna, Hawaii (USA), owned by Edna Arakawa and Jim Chestnut. The farm has 170 trees of Caturra and Typica varieties planted on 1 acre. The coffee undergoes an anaerobic washed process: cherries are pulped and fermented with selected wine yeast strains in an oxygen-free environment for several days, resulting in increased acidity and mouthfeel. Coffee Review scored it 94 points, describing notes of lychee, tamarind, cocoa nib, hop flowers, and almond brittle with a sweet-tart structure, bright juicy acidity, and viscous syrupy mouthfeel.
