    Great tasting! Kava has really helped my stomach issues clear up that was a from acidity levels in regular coffee. I enjoy that flavor that is smooth and makes my lattes taste amazing

    DELICOUS!

    I love the mild organic taste of this coffee and because it is acid reduced, I am happy that it does not upset my stomach. I find for myself that two tsp in a cup works well. I highly recommend this coffee.

    I love this coffee. Wish you got more for the price.

    This is perfect for my iced coffee drinks. But it’s pretty expensive considering how much you get. Which is why I’m giving it 4 stars. If it were in bigger containers or at a bit of a better price, I’d give 5 stars for sure. But I love the flavor and the fact that’s it’s less acidic.
