ROASTMASTER'S FAVORITE!
Ka'anapali Moka - the name evokes an exotic, full-bodied coffee with a signature chocolate flavor. Now, The Coffee Store is excited to be the first roaster to offer the very special 2009 crop for you to savor at home.
Kaanapali Moka is one of Hawaii's most highly rated varietals, winning many awards and medals in cupping competitions. It is grown on the Kaanapali Coffee Farms, on the gentle slopes of the West Maui Mountains that start just outside of the historical town of Lahaina and rise high above the pristine waters and white-sand beaches of the world-renowned Ka'anapali Resort.
Kaanapali Coffee Farms offers what is probably the widest range of flavor profiles available from any single coffee farm in the world. It grows Moka and three other botanical varietals - the complex Catuai, the crisp Yellow Caturra and the classic Typica - each processed two ways.
The Moka comes from trees of an exotic cultivar first commercialized hundreds of years ago in Yemen. In years past, Moka's tiny, split-pea-like beans fascinated coffee aficionados, as did its Afro-Arabian fruit-and-chocolate cup character.
In the last six years, Ka'anapali Coffee Farms and the University of Hawaii have tried to develop a strain of Moka with a larger bean, while preserving and enhancing the aroma and flavor profiles of the original Moka coffee. 2009 marks the first year of this success story.
Still not tempted? Here's what the experts have to say about Ka'anapali Moka's taste profile and characteristics:
"Nose: Lots of chocolate and pipe tobacco. Smoke shows up strongly in the French press. A nice nutty, hazelnut flavor as well. Finish: It is a medium length finish that ends on chocolate in the vacuum pot and drip. In the French press, it ends on a smoky, nutty note."
"Maui coffee growers are rapidly becoming serious competition to its neighboring and infinitely better known Kona coffee growers. We believe that Ka'anapali Moka, due to its exotic characteristics and unique flavor profiles, has the potential to establish the area as a recognized specialty coffee region similar to Kona."
"Grown on the gentle slopes of Lahaina, this full-bodied clear, smooth coffee is rapidly gaining worldwide recognition. It is a very lively cup, with a slightly exotic chocolatey aroma with subtle winey flavors."
"The nose is rich and complex and the flavor outstanding. The coffee has a medium-full body with relatively low acidity and rich chocolate flavors. The coffee drinks equally well black or with cream and sugar. The aftertaste is pleasant and fades quickly compared to other coffees with this much body and flavor."
