The last one I had was not like the first time and not sure if this is authentic which was not my favorite bean type of all time anyway. I can't review Colombia Janer Almeida which when I tried, sold out and that was another go to. I hope it is available in the future including the past Guatemalans and Seattle Strong Bourbon Barrel Aged Brazil and some others. What happened?

The recipient absolutely loved the gift. Said the Kona is the best coffee he’s tasted!

I was disappointed with Kona, there's been so much said about the quality of this coffee I may have had my expectations set too high. Strong after taste that's hard to get past.

Very smooth, low acid, interesting flavor, good with cream

Smooth with low acidity. I grind by hand with a ROK and it feels almost 'buttery' as it goes through the grinder. Why does this matter? Because I have not
iced that beans that grind in this manner almost always have the sort of smooth taste that we like in our coffee. Add the low acidity and the result is a coffee that doesn't leave a bitter after taste. And this Kona is my wife's favorite.

Very disappointing, whatever this was it was nothing like the coffee I had in Kona when I was there.

I don't care for whatever the
fruity citrus taste is. I assume it's the passion fruit.

I have loved Hawaii coffee every since we visited over 10 years ago. Coconut in my coffee had become a favorite flavor (right after
chocolate).

The coffee was flat. It tasted like the beans had been wet then after grinding the beans they hoped it would smeill ok. It didn't. Off taste like ... it was like eating pistachio cake that had no flavor only the color was green to tell you it was my favorite nut. Very disappointed!

It was a good coffee with classic taste of Kona Coffee. I have been using different kind of method / temperature / and grinding. However, I just think its a bit over price; there are a lot of coffee from bean box that are cheaper and taste better than it. The coffee itself taste very bold and solid. The flavor is strong and a little bitter . There is no much acidity in this coffee, so if you are the person who doesn't like
fruity flavor you probably will like this bag.

I purchased this as a birthday gift for my fiance, He loved it. I enjoyed it black. The light brown beans produce a
nutty flavorful cup.

The Bean Box is a fantastic company. I used them upon reading a review and decided to try them. So glad I did!! I bought Keala's 100% Kona coffee as a birthday gift for my daughter. The coffee came on time and the quality of the coffee is outstanding. The other thing I found to be a plus for a small business is they provided a user friendly tracking system. I will be buying from them again. Thanks guys and keep up the good work

I'm usually a huge fan of kona coffees. They're tend to be flavorful and smooth. It's one of the coffees I can drink black and still truly enjoy. This one missed the mark. It wasn't smooth and flavorful, it was harsh and the beans smelled burnt. I'm going to try adding less coffee grounds on the next cup. I was extremely disappointed $36 for 8oz is not worth it! First coffee I've gotten that hasn't measured up.

Couldn’t wait to try it - wonderful and I even tried it
iced. I would definitely order again.

★★★★★
My absolute favorite coffee and is worth the price you pay for it. I always make sure I have some to grind for special occasions or when the mood hits me for a smooth tasting coffee with no aftertaste or bite to it.

Gave this Kona to my husband for his birthday as a special treat.

I had only a half of the bag from my first order of the season, October and always look forward to it. That bright light aromatic flavor is always great especially in the Fall and now that I have two more orders here, will enjoy into the new year. I just keep it sealed until I'm ready to grind although it has been roasted a while. I don't care, it is still good but I will brew a little stronger and see if this crop is even better in the description.

Delicious. Super necessary. Taking me back to Hawai'i after my first trip 4 years ago. A treat well worth the cost.
Joe
★★★★★
A wonderful Kona, one of the best I've had. Bright and acidic, yet smooth. I love this coffee and try to treat myself every once in a while.
Alexander

Delicious coffee. Such a treat. I even mix it with other coffee beans sometimes to make my own custom blend.
Benjamin

Smooth finish, no need for creamer or sugar. Will be ordering another bag!

Perfectly smooth Hawaiian coffee; brewed in my
french press, the coconut and fruit notes were pleasant but not overpowering.

A pleasant light
chocolate aroma, this coffee rewards you with a smooth yet robust flavor. (

I was happy to be able to taste the toasted coconut they mention on the label. Love it!
Emily
★★★★★
Good, but not the absolute best kona I've tried. I much prefer the hapuna from keala's, very good.
Katie
★★★★★
I can not say enough good things about this coffee. My first time trying 100% Kona and it makes me want to move to the islands! Such rich flavor!
John
★★★★★
Ok for a light coffee but not what I expected. But have loved kona so gave it a try.
Mary
★★★★★
Light and very
citrusy and bright. We made it in a
french press and drank it black. Not a favorite.
Vanessa
★★★★★
Too acidic and
citrusy for my taste. I brewed it in an
aeropress and drank it black.
Cherie
★★★★★
This coffee was not bad, but I was disappointed because I expected to love it like I have loved other 100% Kona coffees I have had, and did not get the great coffee smell from the beans that I expected either.
Ricky
★★★★★
Great cup of coffee if you like a fruitier, more acidic cup. Personally, not my cup of tea (or coffee) as I am more of a
dark roast lover, but I still enjoyed drinking this more than other beans on the brighter side.
David
★★★★★
Wow, what a delicious cup of coffee. I absolutely enjoyed it and may be the best coffee I've ever had. It was surprisingly bold, coconut came all the way through and it finished with the refreshing and sweet taste of
tropical lakoli. Brewed on a
french press with filtered water and two mesh screens
Joseph
★★★★★
My aunt had this coffee a little while ago and this was a really good cup, but a little too acidic (not in a bad way at all) for my tastes. It was very good and I would definitely drink it again, but I typically go for a darker cup of coffee. I am definitely glad I got to try this though!
Maya
★★★★★
LOVE THIS COFFEE. Such an amazing smell - brewed it in an
aeropress. delicious as an americano or latte!
Alyssa
★★★★★
Hands down the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had. Brewed in a
french press. Just a hint of sweet coconut with a smooth, slightly
nutty flavor... perfect. I have to resist brewing another cup later in the day!
Kristan
★★★★★
Amazing Kona coffee! Nice flavor of coconut throughout.
Erika
★★★★★
This coffee is pretty good. A little darker than I’d prefer but it is still quite tasty with some
fruity notes. I prefer using a
french press with this particular coffee.

I've had 100% Kona from a number of sources. When my regular supplier went out of business, I was in search of another supplier, and ran across Bean Box. I bought a half pound and tried it when I got it, I tried it immediately.. I was delighted to discover that it lived up to my expectations!
Bret

This was my first experience with 100% Kona. Initial cup was a wonderful toasted coconut and lychee. After the first couple cups it drank like a
dark roast where notes were difficult to discern. I'd like to try on a lighter roast. Was one of the more difficult beans to dial in for me.
Kevin
★★★★★
A wonderful roast from a great roaster. Very smooth and subtle. A great coffee for the evening hours.
Jo
★★★★★
I had a Kona from an estate that might be different from Keala's many years ago through HSN and seemed a deeper roast and am not experienced with this coffee. I use a
french press and heaped my scoops and still was not that strong but tomorrow morning will use more to see if it makes a difference.
Peter
★★★★★
Amazing Coffee! Typically I go for the Ethiopian coffees, but this coffee is a more robust and earthy flavor. The flavor is more
nutty an full bodied rather than
fruity and lemony.
Kevin
★★★★★
Incredibly smooth and delicious, very much a winner and worth the price. Must try
Frederick
★★★★★
Very
fruity and delicious! Definitely worth the money! Smooth flavor!
Dustin

Amazing
fruity flavor. Has less body then the Kona's I have tried before. Would love to have again!

I usually don't buy super expensive coffee like this, but man was this worth the price. I tasted
tropical fruit with toasted coconut, medium body and clean finish.
