    Aromatic, fair price, best Kona I've ever had.

    I've tried many Kona Coffees from Hawaii for many years. Some were just OK, others I wouldn't buy again, and then there is this offering. I made my first pot this morning. The mere act of the fantastic aroma as I ground the beans made my mouth water. And the coffee??

    Outstanding Kona coffee

    Super good, no acidity, rich, robust, smooth, brew a 10oz cup, 2 tsp Demerara sugar, top with frothed milk, and dark cacao powder. You will be addicted!
