Understanding Coffee Blend Misconceptions

Many blends trade on famous Hawaiian and Kona names while delivering little of the balance, clarity, and refinement those coffees are known for. The result is often a flat, generic cup that falls short of expectations. This blend was created to challenge that norm. Built from a high proportion of premium-grade coffees — the same caliber typically reserved for elite small-batch roasts — it’s designed to rival the smoothness, nuance, and elegance associated with legendary island coffees, without relying on the name itself. The result is a cup that delivers what people expect from top-tier island-style coffee: clean, balanced, and unmistakably refined.

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 Island 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 Island sweetness and floral aromatics. Always grind just before brewing for peak flavor.
