ROYAL KONA COFFEE Whole Bean - 100% Hawaiian Kona Coffee, Private Reserve, Medium Roast

I like Kona better than most coffee beans. Royal Kona is the real thing at a fair price for a bean that is known to be expensive anywhere. To me, you get what you pay for or don't buy it again. I've bought this product over and over and have no plans of switching. Nice, smooth, almost citrus to the palate. Low to no acidity makes for a smooth tummy as well. When the aroma drifts through the house I find myself following it.

Great flavor and worth the price

This is my husband’s favorite coffee so I buy these small bags for special occasions or gifts. Having bought them a few times I’m aware that the quantity is less than what you’d buy of other beans at the store. They arrive fairly quickly and the quality is always as expected. My husband is giddily delighted and sets aside quiet time to grind, brew, and appreciate the scent and flavor. His happiness is worth the price when our budget allows for it.

We fell in love with Kona coffee when we were on vacation in Hawaii. This is the same brand that we purchased and brought back home with us. It’s so nice to be able to quickly get more whenever we want to feel like we’re back on island time. It’s expensive, but an indulgent treat.

Very rarely do I return items purchased on Amazon, even more rarely do I review purchases, and almost never for their poor quality (I research my purchases as best as I can); HOWEVER, I purchased 2 packages of very expensive and well rated coffee for Christmas presents. The items shipped quickly, BUT the packages looked like they had gone through the war; the coffee bags were crumpled so they could not be used as gifts. SO I can kept them to use as a special treat, or for company. The first brew was a disaster, bitter with poor flavor, worse than the average run of the mill stuff one can buy. So the second time I was very very careful to follow the instructions precisely, measuring carefully. BUT AGAIN, horrible coffee. and worse yet the time to return the items had lapsed. Why am I stuck with this miserably overpriced overrated coffee? and why doesnt Amazon give more time to reeturn Items, especially as many are used as gifts? HELP!

I used to work two blocks from Lion Coffee in Honolulu where I would visit several times a week (~21 years ago?). I seem to remember this brand being sold there along with their house roasted and it was available in all of the gift shops around the island. It was something I would buy myself for my birthday or other occasion when I wasn't feeling too broke. Back then it came in 10 oz or 12 oz bags and I don't remember the price being too much lower so it isn't really a bad deal considering the number of years and inflation. Maybe I have lost some of my sense of smell, and my coffee tastes have changed quite a bit over the years. I went from light roast Hawaiian when I lived there to Guatemalan light then medium roast when I moved back to the states, now drinking less acidic roasts and mainly African and some Indonesian beans with a South American thrown in every now and then for a change. I didn't get overly excited on smelling the beans and was not impressed with the first cup which my wife made me for my birthday this year. No memory evoking aroma or flavor. I made myself a small cup the next day and it started to bring back some memory with flavor. I ordered some from a different seller on Amazon two years ago and still enjoyed it. It's not fake but not sure I would buy it again through Amazon. Two stars would be too harsh because my olfactory discernment isn't what it used to be.

This is one of the best coffee I ever had. It's aroma and the lack of bitterness is its highlights. I bought a pound of Jamaican Blue Mountain from another company andgot both of them around the same time. They are both great coffee, however the aroma of this kona coffee is the reason why I liked this coffee better than compared to the JBM I got from a different company specially when brewed by a French Press. One of the most important things that makes a great cup of coffee is if it is freshly roasted. Both the kona and JBM were really good when I first opened the bag and noticed a decline in quality after a few days. I believe it is best to finish the whole bag within a week after you open it which is another reason why I preferred this kona as it comes in a 7oz bag, I would rather get two 7oz bag than one 14oz. I will order a pound of kona coffee from the same company that I ordered the JBM and compare it with the kona private reserve since this company roast your coffee the same day it is shipped out and Ireceive it in two business days. It also cost a lot less for $20 a pound. Will I order this kona private reserve again for $17.95 for 7oz? I'll find out when I try the other brand, if it taste similar to the kona private reserve then I will probably start getting my kona coffee from the other roaster at a much lower cost, if not I will most likely be ordering the kona private reserve again. I think it's worth the price for a coffee this good.

香り良し
