The Essence of Hawai‘i in Every Cup
Hawai‘i Island Blend — Balanced, Smooth, Distinctly Hawaii
Crafted for espresso, our Hawai‘i Island Blend unites Kona and Ka‘ū coffees from the Big Island of Hawai‘i into a smooth, balanced cup with notes of caramel, hazelnut, and tropical fruit. Roasted fresh on the island by Paradise Coffee Roasters, this medium-roast espresso blend captures the warmth, clarity, and harmony that define Hawai‘i’s finest coffees — cultivated for your daily ritual.
Estates & Origin: Kona and Ka‘ū, Hawai‘i
Our Hawaii espresso blend is grown across the neighboring districts of Kona and Ka‘ū, this blend unites the diverse terroirs of the Big Island into one harmonious expression.
Kona’s volcanic slopes bring depth and sweetness, while Ka‘ū’s high elevations lend clarity and balance. Together, they create an espresso that embodies the warmth and generosity of Hawai‘i — approachable, yet refined.
Hand-harvested and medium-dark roasted, the Hawai‘i Island Blend captures the soul of the islands: bright mornings, gentle trade winds, and the cultivated calm of paradise.
Character & Style: Silken, Harmonious, and Nuanced
A big island roasted coffee that slots in between the roast levels of our Espresso Classico and Espresso Nuevo blends, this blend reveals notes of dried fruit, hazelnut, and dark chocolate, framed by a hint of citrus that brightens the finish.
With milk, the flavor deepens toward caramel and cocoa, maintaining an elegant balance and creamy mouthfeel.
As espresso, it’s precise yet forgiving — smooth and velvety, with a lingering sweetness that invites daily ritual.
