Kona Mokka Champagne Natural

Taste: A beautifully complex and lush coffee with notes of Plumeria, coconut, strawberry, rose, and grape Background: In 2010 Miguel was tasked with selecting varieties to plant at a new high elevation field being planted by Hula Daddy Farm in Kona. One of the varieties selected was the Mokka Variety from the Hawaii Agricultural Research Center on Oahu. These trees came from Dr. Medina of Campinas, Brazil. This Mokka is a dwarf mutation of the Red Bourbon variety. the beans are tiny, about the size of lentils, and the leaves of the plant are much smaller and narrower than other varieties of Arabica. Production is low on this variety, but once the trees came of bearing age it was obviously a variety of extraordinary cup quality. With seeds from the trees at Hula Daddy Farm, Kraig Lee of Kona Farm Direct began growing Mokka plants in his nursery several years ago. In 2022 these trees produced their first harvest. These cherries were processed using our champagne natural method and submitted to the 2022 Kona Coffee Festival cupping competition where the coffee took 1st place! These trees are now a little older and the cup quality is even better.
