HOT ! Honalo Farm Special Selection 16-oz

Special Selection – This single-estate, 100% Kona Private Reserve coffee is a specially crafted combination of three roasts, Medium, City, and Full City, in a ratio that has been taste-tested by a panel of tasters to achieve a multilayered, complex flavor, with consummate balance and smoothness. This single-origin coffee will interest a wide range of coffee lovers. It has taste characteristics related to a specific terroir, with a flavor spectrum that conveys impeccable balance, style, and richness. The basic idea for this product is to deliver an optimal flavor profile of our \"house style\", in the same vein as multi-vintage champagne and blended fine cognac. To ensure an even distribution of the differently roasted beans, we offer this coffee only as ground (not as whole bean). You will be as impressed as we are with this superb coffee. 

The flavor characteristics of a particular coffee will not only depend on the single-origin source (terroir), but also on the level of roasting, from medium (~410 °F, near end of first crack) to dark (~445 °F, middle of second crack). Additionally, the hot beverage will vary markedly depending on the brewing method and conditions used. Unlike wine or beer, for example, one does not just open a bottle and find the beverage basically as intended by the producer. Hot coffee requires a considerable degree of end-user intervention and brewing skill. Another important factor is personal taste preference, which can have a major influence. As such, it is not possible to make specific claims about a product\'s taste without specifying many parameters upon which the taste will be dependent.
