    The real deal shipped from Hawaii.

    All the Hawaiian coffee at the grocery stores is only a small percent of Kona Hawaiian coffee. Ordering online I was able to get 100% Hawaiian Kona coffee. Its flavor is exceptionally smooth and no creamer or sugar was needed.

    Enjoying the idea of drinking Hawaii

    Tastes like coffee. Pretty good. Really enjoy it but think it's partly that I know it's from Hawaii, the Garden Isle of Kauai. Makes me imagine fragrant green forests, lush soil, and tropical richness rarely positioned in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

    Not worth the 2x price.

    We have been buying the 10% mix for a few years, found this pure mix a couple of weeks ago. After trying it my wife and I decided that it's not really any better than the mix and certainly not enough to be worth the 2x cost. It's good, just not better enough to justify the extra cost.

    my all time favorite coffee

    Well, I'm not much of a coffee connoisseur, but after trying lots of coffee beans from the grocery store I at least know there is a huge difference and I eventually settled for the taste of "Kona" labelled ones (which only have a tiny amount of actual Kona beans though).
