Kuppa Kona is Full Body, indeed!

Kuppa Kona is Full Body, indeed! Carta Coffee Merchants have scored with this coffee. Every year Carta rolls out a new coffee and keep raising the bar higher, and higher as to what Kona coffee should be. Kona fans, you should go online and get yourself a bag of this excellent coffee!

Here is what I found.

 

Aroma:

Kuppa Kona has a big aroma, full of deep earthiness, with a hint of volcanic fire. There is a nice finish note of citrus as the aroma pleasantly entrance your senses.

As I brewed this heady coffee, the aroma did not diminish at all! It made its way to the upstairs of my home, and brought down some household members to par-take in an afternoon cup.

 

Flavor:

Very rich, smooth and bold, full of deep dark coco, and balanced with some outstanding citrus. I paired Kuppa with some dark chocolate orange cookies, and this turned out to be a perfect match. The pairing really turned the coffee from a smooth cup to a velvet beverage with some serious caffeine.

Body:

Bold, full, and heavy. Those are the three main adjectives that I use to describe Kuppa. You know you are drinking something serious with this coffee, it is not a light weight, nor is it watery. A bold statement of “here is some coffee”.

 

Acidity:

Very low, Kuppa maintains its flavor profile all the way through, which is what I love about Kona. There is no sharpness, it is naturally sweet but not over the top. There is a natural fruitiness that gives Kuppa a nice little pop of excitement, but it does not take away from the flavor nor does it make it sour as its ages in the cup or pot.

 

Overall:

Kuppa Kona is a great addition to Carta Coffee Merchants offering. The drying process, the non-fermentation wet method, and the dark roast is a perfect combination for an excellent coffee that brings you to Kona without hopping on a plane. Of course, now I want to go to Kona.
