Keaau Caffeinated, reporting in their first coffee cupping!
The Judges:
Arah Ko, Riana and Y.B.
The Coffee:
(from left to right)
Buddha's Cup, Big Island Coffee Roasters, Divine Hawaiian Coffee, Kona Mountain and Big Island Coffee.
The coffees were brewed and tasted within a couple minutes of each other, they were rated on scent, body, flavor and personal preference among the judges.
The Verdict:
1st Place Coffee- Big Island Coffee Roasters!
2nd Place- Big Island Coffee!
This coffee had a strong and rich scent. Its flavour was oaky and savoury with a smooth body. This is a deeper, blacker coffee and completely addictive. It was the first one to run out after the cupping...
3rd Place Coffee- Divine Hawaiian Coffee!
This coffee had a taosty tobacco flavour with a long aftertaste, a little more acidic than the others. (I was unfortunately unable to get a picture for this one.)

1st Place Coffee- Big Island Coffee Roasters!
Described as having a unique taste with low acidity with hinted flavours of cinnamon, malt and caramel, this coffee was truly delicious and was voted as the favorite of all three judges in our blind cupping. It is a light coffee with an amazing smell, before and after it is brewed. This coffee was also the Grand Champion of the 2012 statewide cupping competition!
