State of Hawaii

Hawaii State is the only archipelago state in the United States, consisting of 132 islands in the central Pacific Ocean. The capital is located in Honolulu on Oahu.

Kona coffee from Hawaii

Kona coffee beans from Hawaii have the most perfect appearance. Their fruits are extremely full and shiny. They are the most beautiful coffee beans in the world. The coffee is smooth and fragrant, with an attractive nutty flavor and a well-balanced acidity, as charming as the colorful colors of the island of Hawaii and a long finish.

The world-famous "Kona of Hawaii" is a mellow and sour coffee bean.

Cola is a dark brown, sweet, caffeinated carbonated drink with caffeine but no alcohol. It is very popular. The main flavors of Coke include vanilla, cinnamon, lemon and so on. The name comes from one of the early ingredients of cola: cola fruit extract.

Curious, how do cola and coffee beans combine?

Brewed coffee with cola may be quite strange, so how would we react if we let "cola" participate in the process of raw coffee beans? In this experiment, a small coffee farm in the Ka'u area of Hawaii was asked to use Pepsi to replace the water used in the normal fermentation process in the fermentation process of raw beans. These [cola-treated beans] can only produce ten pounds of raw coffee at a time, which is purely experimental for them.

This is a very interesting experiment, and it is also one of the first unique [cola-treated] coffee beans in the world. Let's see what the result is.

Appearance: the appearance is still the standard Hawaiian bean appearance, neat, beautiful, large and uniform. The degree of baking is about city+. The surface of the beans shows a uniform and smooth red-brown hue.

Dry aroma: not special, slightly chocolate, not fruity fragrance.

Wet aroma: honey is sweet

Taste: sweet is the first impression, the taste is a bit like soda bubbling taste, mild acidity is not obvious, sweet mixed with maltose flavor, the first flavor is not very impressive. The most special is the taste in the middle and back, with the sweet taste of wheat tea coming out layer upon layer, and the dynamic taste and sweetness similar to that of Coke in the throat! I thought it was nothing special at the entrance, but if you score in this way, you will miss the wonderful part, with depth and changing sweetness coming out layer by layer in the back, with the aroma of maltose and wheat tea, and finally turned into candy sweetness.
