Maragogype is one of the rarest Hawaiian coffees, but has long been one of our favorites. Why it’s so unusual: This variety yields about half the beans as the more common Typica, so few Kona farmers plant it. We're grateful for the ones who do.
Maragogype (also known as Maragogipe) has the largest beans of any Coffea arabica cultivar. A bean can stretch across the diameter of a penny. Its large size and low density makes it tricky to roast, but with the right profile, it's a beautiful coffee.
"Deep-toned, richly sweet-savory. Dark chocolate, hop flowers, lychee, sandalwood, almond brittle in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with round, gentle acidity; plush, creamy mouthfeel. The resonant finish is redolent with notes of almond brittle and lychee."
