"This isn't as bold as I'd hoped, and I was kind of dreaming of the macadamia nut coffee that I get in Hawai'i. I can taste some nuttiness and a little bit of apple, but there isn't honestly a lot of flavor here. I wouldn't even peg this as Hawai'ian inspired, if I tried it blind. I definitely prefer what I get directly from Hawai'i, so I was disappointed. But it's a decent cup of coffee - just nothing special!"
"Amazingly I just had my fourth glass of
iced brew today. Tweaked this one with a
tropical ️ twist. Put organic cane sugar in with my
pour over, added a little whole milk and topped it off with whipped cream. Fun, fun, fun! Enjoy!"
"Thinking about a trip to Hawaii? This cup could just take you there. Smooth with a great mouthfeel. An easy drinking everyday cup. Enjoy!"
"Nothing too overwhelming in taste. Great every day drinker."
"Incredible!
nutty,
tropical,
floral, sweet! Smooth and medium bodied, pairs perfectly with a dash of
chocolate macademia nut syrup from Torani and some 2% milk. Brewed on a Breville Barista Express"
"I like to sip this with bongo drums playing in the background. The coffee is a little on the darker side. Acidic! Yummy!"
"I think it’s actually lighter than I expected. Definitely can taste the fruitiness of it, solid cup of coffee. I’m not sure I’d consider this a medium bodied roast but it holds up nicely. "

"Really enjoyed this blend. No funky aftertaste, just a classy cup"
"Really good cup of coffee, not as good as the Kona :) but well worth the bag!"
"Came back to Honolulu Blend one year later. This time a great cup of coffee ☕️ starting with a fabulous aroma. Smooth and bold. Light flavor nuances. All in all a fabulous way to start your day."

"Caffeine: Medium; Grind Level: 40 (Breville Smart Pro Grinder); Settings: Gold Cup w/ 28 oz. water (Breville Precision Brewer); Review: A real
nutty smell from the whole beans. It tastes like a general blend of different regions, which is what the description says it is. It definitely comes with the nuttiness and boldness, but I'm not really feeling the
tropical vibes. When I think
tropical, I think bright
citrus or
floral. With this I do get a clean finish, but nothing outstanding in comparison to "The Classics". I feel like this is as good of a medium blend as the Mocha Java was a dark blend. Drinkable, comfortable, but nothing remarkable. Medium bodied, perfectly fine black. The hype is the Hawaiian origin, and it certainly isn't Kona."
"One of my absolute favorites."
"Arrived on time. Was a larger package then I was expecting. Smells good, plus who doesn’t like complementary candy samples. Will recommend this to my friends!"
"Wonderful flavor and very smooth. No bitterness"
"The name suits. Definitely holiday flavor. Paired well with my barista
almond milk. "
"If you are more incline towards
fruity flavors, this is a perfect balanced coffee that keeps the richness acid of the fruits and smoothness of the
tropical blends, best Hawaiian blend I ever tried !!!!"
"Great
medium roast with a very nice balance of bold flavor but not too dark. "
"I liked the body and the depth of this one but disappointingly that was as far as it could go for me. No nuanced flavors to make it interesting or one to come back to consistently. Nothing exciting here. "
"As someone who prefers dark coffee we took a chance on this blend because it sounded good. Typically I find lighter roasts taste watered down and subdued, however that is not the case here. I was able to enjoy the
fruity flavors this coffee has to offer. While it may be a while before I re order this is on my list for when I need a go to enjoyable change. "

"Can really taste the apple flavor! Not our favorite but good! Definitely a lighter roast"
"Smelled great out of the bag and the flavor was a nice medium bold body with
fruity notes. I like this one"
"best Hawaiin blend i've ever tried no bitterness.
fruity and smooth "
"I order direct from Hawaii at times. This coffee took me right back to morning on the Big Island and I loved the flavor. "
"I usually don't like the
fruity profiled coffees, but something about the Hawaii ones just does the trick. Will buy again!"
"A lighter roast with not much oil to the bean, it was light and
fruity. "
"This was fantastic! Really smooth and really reminded me of being in Hawaii."

"Tasted like the Hawaiian island itself!! Smooth and tasty! Smells amazing!"
"This roast is extremely smooth, and has a hint of tart in its aftertaste. I normally go towards darker brews, but this medium-light brew has impressed me. It has a lot of flavor packed into it without being a typical bitter coffee."
"My wife and I enjoyed this as a
french press after receiving a sample pack. I enjoy a medium or light-
medium roast and this one was roasted to my liking. Nice flavor overall. "

"This coffee smelled AMAZING when our box arrived, however, I was a little disappointed by the taste. I thought that this coffee was ok, nothing really stood out to me flavor wise. "
"A nice
medium roast, definitely a all day sipping brew. If I invited people over Id feel safe serving this without alienating any coffee drinker."

"I enjoyed this coffee, but it would not be one that I would order. It did not have the depth or richness I enjoy. "
"Dark enough, smooth enough, and a touch of apple. Pretty good."
"Brewed with
french press which brought out the
fruity flavors nicely. I was surprised with this cup of coffee and enjoyed it much more than I anticipated. "
"A very pleasant coffee with some unique flavor, but don’t expect Kona from this. It’s a solid choice but not a standout hit for me. "

"Sweet and
fruity with a complexity of flavor. We want (need) a full bag to really allow the time to dive into the depths of this coffee. With a nice weight on the tongue, this is a slow, Sunday morning sipping coffee."
"Subtle apple flavor but overall rather plain coffee."
"The nip of a crisp nearly bitter Apple was there. Interesting cup in the
french press. Was sad when bag was empty..."
"This just might be the best coffee ever. I loved it. The worst part was when it was gone. I didn't care or take the time to note the flavors, it was just a cup of incredible coffee, everything was balanced and delicious. "
"This is a very sweet,
fruity tea - a little bit too much so. It's very light. We drank as an
espresso with milk. It's better
iced than warm."
"I didn’t get much of the
fruity but loved this coffee! Drip brewed this with some cream and I loved the smooth creaminess that transpired. Bold for a
medium roast, but just perfect dancing on your tongue. Would definitely buy this again!!!"
"Great
medium roast coffee. Brewed in
french press. Edium acidity with fairly smooth finish. Deep flavor that is slightly sweet. We would buy this coffee again."
"I'm a sucker for
dark roasts but when I saw
fruity I was afraid it would be over powering but instead of an attack of fruit it was a lovely little sprinkle of fruitiness."
"Really simple but flavorful coffee. Smooth, no acidity, but I really didn't get a lot of the fruit taste. Would definitely try again, it was a great cup of coffee."
"Strong, but smooth and creamy with mild fruit notes. Great morning coffee."
"Wow I was surprised by this. Wasn't sure how this blend would work. But it is delicious. Very smooth, is creamy and bold and has a nice touch of fruit. Would definitely buy again. Brewed
french press."
