Re-evaluating My Life's Decisions
I have always been a 'Dark Roast Guy'. The stronger and darker the better. But I've enjoyed coffee from Big Island Coffee Roasters on prior trips to Big Island, so I thought I would give the Kona Noir 34 a try. The flavors of this medium-light roast blew me away. I never knew that coffee could taste like this. Highly recommended. Plan to visit their Hilo store in December!

Absolutely Unique and Delicious
My husband and I are definitely not coffee connoisseurs, but we can definitely taste how special the medium light roast Kona Noir drip grind coffee is. The aroma is wonderful. The brew is velvety smooth with a tiny bit of spicy aftertaste and a noticeably mellow fruity flavor. Its complex flavors come through whether hot or cooling. It was brewed in a regular auto drip machine. We liked it so much that I immediately ordered another bag so that when I need more it would not be sold out. A definite keeper for us.
