Wai Meli Morning is a warm and welcoming cup — rich, floral, and finely balanced — designed to honor Hawai‘i’s coffee culture while offering a delicious, everyday option at a more accessible price point.
This 50/50 blend brings together freshly harvested Kona and Kaʻū coffees with exceptional specialty-grade world coffees, selected to elevate and complement Hawai‘i-grown flavors, instead of mask them, as is done in 10% blends. The result is a medium roast with Hawai‘i-grown coffee you can taste throughout - aromatic, layered, and naturally sweet.
Expect the aroma of hazelnut and buttery caramel, unfolding into mocha, dates, cashew, and a gentle floral lift of bergamot and chrysanthemum. The light, mineral-like acidity adds sparkle, while the body remains silky and sweet.
In espresso format, Coffee Review awarded Wai Meli Morning 94 points praising its floral complexity and nutty, chocolate-toned depth:
“Freesia, dark chocolate, hazelnut butter, lychee, cedar… In cappuccino format, richly floral, crisply chocolaty and sweetly nutty.”
OVERALL RATING: 94 PTS
Coffee Review Blind assessment: Evaluated as espresso. Delicately aromatic, floral-toned. Freesia, dark chocolate, hazelnut butter, lychee, cedar in aroma and small cup. Syrupy-smooth mouthfeel; crisp, chocolaty finish. In cappuccino format, richly floral, crisply chocolaty and sweetly nutty.
The bottom line: A balanced, deep-toned espresso blend that’s complex, multi-layered, and rich, both in the straight shot and in milk.

Because Espresso Bites are made without stabilizers or preservatives, they may bloom or melt when shipping temperatures exceed 80 F. If this is a concern in your location please select FedEx shipping.
If you notice a white color to your bar, it's perfectly safe to eat. This happens when the cocoa butter softens and migrates to the surface. It happens more often when shipping in warm weather. Learn more about blooming.
Espresso Bites that melt or bloom when shipped via FedEx are eligible for a full refund or credit.
Espresso Bites that melt or bloom when the buyer elects Free Shipping or standard USPS are eligible for a credit.
