Ono Gelato & Espresso Co. - Maui, Hawaii - 100% Maui Yellow Caturra -Inverted Aeropress

Stepping off the plane in Hawai'i, and driving into Lahaina, my wife and I walked into a small Gelato Shop, Ono Gelato, the first place we'd entered outside of where we were staying. On a whim, by the design and coffee type, I pulled the 100% Maui Yellow Caturra, after I was informed that this was a medium roast. Never you mind that there was no clue on the roast date.





Notes: Looks like quite a bit of quakers, and smells rather like peanut butter and nutty. Didn't have much bloom, so I would conclude that it had been a whole since it was roasted.


Taste: Shockingly, this brighter than I would have expected. Citrus zap to it, nutty, with a bit of smoke. I'd liken it closer to the tang of a black tea, and some notes of stone fruit.
