Lion CoffeeArabica Coffee Beans, Light Roast Whole Bean Coffee, Vanilla Macadamia Flavor, A Taste of Aloha, 10 Ounce Bag

Its taste and smell are very nice. I wish it was sold in larger sizes. It runs out quickly and is never left in our house.

I used to order this from a catalog back in early 90's. I've been looking for it elsewhere as the Lion pure Kona seemed too expensive, but after tasting this blend, I believe it's my long-lost Lion Kona coffee! It's only 10% Kona, but the delicate, nutty, very aromatic flavor is all there.As far as the flavor, I'm no Epicurean, I just know what I like. I like strongly flavored but non-bitter coffee with a little cream and stevia for non-caloric (and non-toxic) sweetner. Opened the bag -- smell was good. Into the cone and hot water in, smelled *heavenly*. Treated it and took first sip - ***amazing!*** It IS the long-remembered flavor that made a special Sunday treat for having made it through the work week. 25 years and it's as good as I remembered. All the other coffees I've tried over the years as "specials" didn't even come close. Pure Kona didn't do it, either.If you've never had this stuff, well, it's milder on the tongue and yet more noticeable in the nose than anything else including New Orleans Blend Community Coffee (w/ chicory) or pressed dark French Roast. It's a dark roast that is still transparent enough in the cup to see the spoon on the bottom until cream is added. No bitterness at all, and that indescribable "middle" of the taste that means Kona -- nothing else can even begin to compare for the flavor.Quick service & great price, too. I remember it was considered extragavent to pay $10 + shipping back in 1992, but I considered it worthwhile. Today's price is actually better, considering inflation (why do we even HAVE inflation?).

Our local convenience store, Wawa, used to carry this coffee, but discontinued it a number of years ago. It was my hubby's absolute favorite. I recently purchased this coffee and he absolutely loves it! Says it's even better than what Wawa used to have! He is over the moon for this coffee.

Loved it, great taste

I love coconut so I loved this coffee.

I am totally disappointed. This is the worst coffee I have ever had. When I opened it, there was no smell. It appeared to be roasted a long time ago. When I drank it, it tasted bitter with no smell. This is not the kona coffee that I used to drink a couple of years ago. It used to have enriched flavor. I always felt good with good/long-lasting smell stayed in my mouth even after drinking. But this is like a garbage. What is going on with this coffee? Why tastes so bad suddenly? It would be wise to buy a blue bottle with a half price but much better than this one.

I don't usually like coffee because of its bitter and sour tastes. But this one doesn't have those tastes at all! I love it!!

have a burr grinder and have tried 4 different ground types (from medium and down to right before expresso fine setting), one looked exactly like the ground size from the grounded version bag i got from hawaii that i still have some of but, these coffee beans just do not smell the same nor taste like the 10% kona coffee blend i got from hawaii at all. the beans smell on the over roasted stale side and the coffee is not smooth and tasty like it should be but, instead tastes on the bitter side. When i smell the grinded grounds from this and compare it to the Hawaii bought bag, the smell is noticeably different.. Yet, this coffee still tastes better than most even though it does not taste like it should.decided it is best to order straight from lion website for my next order.UPDATE: just received three bags i ordered straight from lion site and i can now say the bag i got here is definitely not fresh. Beans in Lion site bag is shinnier with a nice strong aroma and my mug of coffee tasted delicious again like it should. Both have the same expiration date so am guessing since A is fulfilling these here, that they are not being warehoused properly and are going stale quickly!! recommend ordering straight from company.
