I've gotten bored with the Mexican organic dark roast, which I still have a good amount of , so I opened a bag of Kuai Coffee Dark Roast 10% Hawaiian Coffee Koloa Estate that I got on sale at Safeway about a month or 2 ago.
After playing around with brew time, I think 5 minutes in my french press gives me a decent fruity and roasty flavor, although I don't think I like it as much as the local Heirloom Coffee Roasters medium roast that I had before the Mexican.
It’s a strange taste. The fruitiness and roastiness don’t quite “jive”. It does taste like 2 different coffees that were mixed together.
But waaaay better than the store brand First Street Kona Blend.
The Mexican organic is whole beans, so it'll keep while I work my way through the standard 12 oz bag of Kuai grounds, which should take about a month for me to finish.
