Understanding Kona Blend Misconceptions
Many so-called “Kona blends” use only 10% real Kona beans, leaving most of the cup tasting flat and generic. Our 35% Kona Blend changes the game by more than tripling the Kona component and sourcing exclusively from premium-grade beans — the same caliber typically reserved for elite small-batch roasts. The result is a cup that finally tastes like Kona should: smooth, nuanced, and unmistakably Hawaiian.

Brewing Recommendations
Treat this blend like a single-origin to let its Kona component shine:
Ratio: 1:16 (20g coffee to 320g water)
Water Temp: ~200°F (93.5°C), filtered
Method: Pour-over recommended; French press or drip with metal filter also effective
Grind: Medium (adjust slightly finer for brighter clarity, slightly coarser for smoother body)
Pro tip: Pulse pouring in pour-over helps layer the extraction and highlight the Kona sweetness and floral aromatics. Always grind just before brewing for peak flavor.
