Intense power.

When the trade winds get squeezed in between the high peaks of the Hawaiian islands, they howl and thrash the sea channels. Moloka‘i faces three of these wild channels. Looking east to Maui—Pailolo. Looking south to Lana‘i—Kalohi. Looking west to O‘ahu—Kaiwi. Old-days Hawaiians crossed these channels not in jets but in canoes. They used hand-hewn tree trunks, vine lashings, bark sails, powerful muscles, and raw courage. For today’s canoe clubs, little has changed.

This Moloka‘i-grown espresso, made from fine arabica beans and roasted to a state of perfect intensity, matches (we think) the power of those tough-living adventurers.

BLIND ASSESSMENT: Gently smoky chocolate and cedar notes dominate the aroma, with hints of flowers and a brandyish ferment. In the small cup medium to full body, velvety mouthfeel, distinct cedar notes with a hint of dark chocolate and bananas. Very impressive short finish, with continued clear cedar-chocolate notes; a hint of heavy astringency mars the long. Balanced in milk, though the chocolate notes remain hostage to a smoky cedar.

WHO SHOULD DRINK IT: Those interested in sampling distinctive single-origin espressos. Probably best as a short straight shot.
