Origin: Kona coffee
Roast: Medium-Light
Tasting Notes: Honey-butter, toffee, nougat, jasmine, cacao, stone fruit (peach and apricot). Light and syrupy mouthfeel. (natural/ unflavored)
For bright and sweet coffee lovers, our lighter 100% Kona medium roast coffee - Kona Bloom - comes from the same farm as our popular Kona dark roast called Kona Moon. It's a naturally sweet and floral Extra Fancy Kona coffee with tasting notes of jasmine, peach, honey, caramel, and toffee.
Compared with coffees from other regions, like Ka'u or Maui, our medium-light roast Kona coffee beans have a smooth mouthfeel, and peach, jasmine, and cacao aromas. In contrast, both of our popular Ka'u coffees - Ka'u Morning Glory and Ka'u Wood Valley Single Estate - are brighter, akin to white wine, and our Maui coffee - Maui Mellow has stronger notes of roasted nuts.
This Kona coffee is roasted to order with the roast day stamped on the bag. It's perfect for medium-light roast Kona coffee aficionados seeking naturally sweet & juicy coffees.
Before roasting, each of our Kona coffee undergoes three additional steps that elevate the quality and meets our expectations: optical sorting, grading, and storing in Grain-pro bags.
✓ Grading separates the beans into different sizes and removes some defects. This creates a clean consistency in the cup.
✓ Optical sorting removes remaining defects, discolored and damaged beans.
✓ Grain-pro storage protects the delicate coffee from Hawaii's humid environment.
✓ Bean size We use a larger bean size for this Kona medium roast, which is both beautiful to look at and, weʻve noticed, tastes a bit fruitier and more floral in the cup.
In addition to harvesting ripe Kona coffee cherry, these three steps separate exceptional specialty-grade Kona coffee from commodity-grade Kona coffees, which can be overly acidic or bitter. Thatʻs one among many reasons to choose specialty Kona medium roast coffees, like Kona Bloom, over others.

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.
