Notes: Extra Fancy is the term for the highest grade of Kona coffee based primarily on largest bean size. Hula Daddy is a boutique coffee farm at the 1,400 foot level of the Mount Hualalai volcano near the northern end of the Kona growing district, five minutes above the town of Kona. Visit www.huladaddy.com or call 888-553-2339 for more information.

Blind Assessment: A simple but sweet, deeply resonant coffee with a big, smooth body and chocolate-toned fruit notes that read as a round, banana-inclined milk chocolate in the aroma. In the cup the chocolate turns toward cocoa and the fruit toward a gently tart, cherryish coffee fruit. Rich, straightforward finish with a very slight hint of astringency.

Who should drink it: Those who enjoy the easy-going style of Kona cup should like this one.
