Coffee Variety & Process: Typcia variety, Barrel-Aged process.
Aged in seasoned bourbon barrels, this 100% Kona coffee develops remarkable depth and aromatic complexity without added spirits or flavorings. Warm notes of Irish cream, baker’s chocolate, and goji berry unfold in a smooth, layered cup reminiscent of a beautifully crafted espresso martini.
Great coffee and fine whiskey share an appreciation for time, craftsmanship, and complexity. Our Barrel Aged Kona brings these traditions together, beginning with 100% Kona green coffee beans carefully aged in oak barrels that once held bourbon whiskey.
As the unroasted beans rest in the barrels, they gradually take on aromatic compounds left behind in the oak, developing warm, spirit-like notes that complement the coffee’s natural character. Each lot is aged with care, with the duration adjusted according to the barrel’s history, the coffee’s characteristics, and the intended roast. The result is a uniquely layered coffee, with subtle variations from one batch to the next.
Despite its bourbon-inspired aromatics, our Barrel Aged Kona is made without adding whiskey or flavorings to the beans. Its distinctive character develops naturally through contact with the seasoned barrels, before the coffee is freshly roasted on Hawaiʻi Island.
The result is an indulgent, aromatic cup that reveals an entirely different side of Kona—rich, nuanced, and full of unexpected character.

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.
