FREE SHIPPING within USA! This is the hard-to-find light roast professional cuppers judge coffee by. Very different in appearance than your usual run-of-the mill dark roast with oils on the surface of the beans. At this cinnamon colored roast level fine nuances in aroma can be found, while a dark roast covers any possible faults. Dark roasts also let the beans swell up to a larger size due to the longer roasting time, which is easier to market and therefore the prevalent offer on store shelves. These American roasted 100% Kona beans are denser and smaller than French or dark roasted coffee beans, yet pack more true coffee flavors. Some say that one can taste the lava and the sea at the same time. Less poetic description: Mellow, sweet, aromatic body with fine spicy after notes. Fragrant, light citrusy taste. Please note: These coffee beans have a dry, non-oily surface, which does not mean that they would be not fresh! The aromatic oils have not yet risen to the surface of the beans and the sugars have not caramelized yet, leaving the beans light brown. The kapa craft of Polynesia (hammered tree bark) is recreated in this collectible pouch. A unique, labor intense material difficult to find anywhere else. Comes with a gorgeously illustrated booklet about my Hawaii, its Kona coffee and our family farm. Grown, processed and shipped freshly roasted from Hawaii directly to you! Not sold in stores. Free pretty and personal gift card upon request.
