    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.

    Light roast washed process arabica typica from Dalat, Vietnam and it is very good. I just received some light roast washed process Yellow Bourbon beans also from Vietnam but I don’t recall the region that I will brew next week since they are quite fresh.

    I’ve had a Vietnamese Coffee press for several years now but I’ve just discovered that coconut milk is the secret sauce. So I’ve been having Iced Vietnamese every morning.
