35% Kona Blend

$29.95

Triple the Kona. Singular in Taste.

Most blends labeled “Kona” contain only 10% real Kona coffee — the legal minimum. Our 35% Kona Blend triples that amount, crafted from a premium-grade tier of Kona harvests selected for peak ripeness, sweetness, and complexity.

The result is a clean, well-balanced cup with buttery richness, subtle spice, winey tones, and a fine, lingering aftertaste. Since 2009, this higher-ratio blend has been our signature commitment to integrity — never filler, never compromise.

  • Item Weight: 1 lb.

  • Roast: Medium or Light

  • Blend: Proprietary (35% Kona, 65% Premium Single-Origin)

  • Handling Time: Roasted Fresh to Order (1–3 Business Days)

  • Form: Whole Bean

  • Pro Tip: Lighter roasts naturally retain more caffeine than darker ones.

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.

Flavor Notes

  • Balanced body with buttery clarity

  • Hints of spice and winey undertones

  • Complex aromatics with a clean finish

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.
