DUKE’S HAWAIIAN COFFEE

One sip of Duke’s Hawaiian Coffee will carry you away to an exotic Hawaiian coffee experience. Imagine yourself in a tropical paradise, looking up at the Puʻu Kukui mountain on the Hawaiian island of Maui. A breath of fresh air tickles your senses with the earthy aromas of Maui’s volcanic terrain combined with the salty sea breeze.  That’s the best way we can describe what you’ll expect when you taste Duke’s Hawaiian Coffee’s 100% Maui Mokka.

Duke’s Hawaiian Coffee further details the production and experience of this coffee on their website:

“We get our beans just three to five days after they’ve been roasted on the island, then package and ship them straight to you. At home or at work, grind the freshly roasted beans right before you brew our coffee, and discover the special characteristics and enhanced flavors that will transport you to this dream island as you sip your cup of Duke’s Hawaiian.”

We hadn’t heard of Maui coffee until this encounter.  We are familiar with Kona, Hawaii’s best-known coffee grown on the Big Island, so we were eager to see how this compared.

These beans are tiny.  With an earthy, energizing scent, and an essence of dark chocolate, these beans were surprisingly aromatic.

The earthy notes (we first described it as “volcanic”) were intensified when ground and brewed.  We tried this as a pour over and also as a shot of espresso. There’s a moderate acidity to this coffee and boldness that wasn’t offensive or off-putting.

Having been to Hawaii and tasting the local coffee recently, this immediately took us back to feeling like we were in a tropical (but not in a fruity way) paradise.

We highly recommend pairing this with a bar of dark chocolate.  The notes of dark chocolate in this coffee were quite strong, and were very much complemented by the slight sweet and smooth textures of the chocolate bar.

Duke’s Hawaiian Coffee is an online-only company. They source directly from a coffee farm in Maui, package up the roasted beans and ship them straight to your door. We were impressed by the customer service and care they provided. Besides being extremely responsive to messages, they also take care to advise on the best way to store and brew your coffee.

 

If you’re itching to kick-start your summer explorations with the world of Hawaiian coffee, we’d encourage you to try 100% Maui from Duke’s Hawaiian Coffee!  ALOHA!
