There are many claimants to the title of Best Kona Coffee. Like Lancelot searching for a king worthy enough to serve I have tried many Kona brands and found most to be wanting. When Starbucks was worth their reputation good Kona was available from them by phone order only. That was 15 years ago. It's been pretty disappointing but the good news is that Blue Horse Kona Coffee is making up for lost time. With a little imagination you can actually taste the black soil of Hawaii and feel the Trade Winds in this coffee. There is no other way to describe the smooth, delicious flavor and aroma that seems simple but has the complexity of a good wine wih several flavors one experiences during the beginning, middle and the wonderful finish.

This is a real find for anyone who loves coffee. I just got turned on to it recently, and it's becoming my absolute favorite. Smooth yet robust. Something very special.

A few friends of mine from work ordered a couple of pounds of Blue Horse Kona Coffee last year and we were all amazed at the exceptional flavor, no less the wonderful smell which filled the office as the coffee was brewing. We are now on our third order and we have five people from my office ordering, as they too have become addicted to this special coffee. We share the cost of 5 pound orders (free shipping from Blue Horse directly), with our most resent order intended as an after dinner Thanksgiving treat for our family and friends. Then if the coffee wasn't good enough, I must add that the service from the folks at Blue Horse is fantastic, every order arrived with in days of its placement and each time the coffee was a fresh as it gets or at least tastes and smells that way. To say the least, IF you are truly a coffee frantic like I am, please do yourself and/or your family a favor and order some, you will not be disappointed and you will experience some of the best tasting coffee in the world. Then even if you don't like coffee, this would make an exceptional gift for someone who does. The medium roast is what we've ordered on our two prior orders but this time we've order 5 pounds of the dark roast, so we can compare and say we've had the best of both worlds. Once I've brewed a few pots of the dark, I will come back and update my posting, so everyone will have a review of both but as an FYI, you can order a pound of each and you do get free shipping with multi-pound orders. They also have a website and you can order directly from them, saving a little money over the Amazon price, plus the pictures and stories/history of the coffee alone is worth the visit to their site.

I have never dealt with a company that treats it customers as well as Blue Horse. They go above and beyond what is expected and have been a bright spot in my day. Thank you Blue Horse, you are exceptional!

I have enjoyed over 200 single origin estate grown coffees from various world markets - Blue Horse ranks at or near the top of the list. Perfect medium roast, super fresh product that yields an incredibly smooth taste in the cup with absolutely no bitterness. Have used both french press and Technivorm drip machine with equally good results...will be back for more.

Barbara and I have tried many coffees. We like a strong taste but not a dark roast. We can now say that Blue Horse Kona, out of coffees around the world, is the closest there is to perfection.

If you haven't had Kona coffee, this would be the one to have! And if you have, Blue Horse is the one you ought to be drinking. Smooth and full of flavor, quite simply, delicious.

The coffee arrived on time. This coffee makes a fine, mellow cup of coffee; I use a French press to make coffee. I've tried the dark roast and the medium roast; I prefer the medium roast for its richer, more complex flavor. My favorite coffee when I'm treating myself to something special.

The coffee Gods has indeed spoken, and has truly blessed the farm this coffee came from! I have been a coffee drinker for many years, and this tops anything I've ever had the honor of drinking. I think that this blows away Jamaican Blue Mountain, which is my new second favorite after trying this! It has an impeccable taste! A little bit of chocolate, mixed with Big Island goodness. I closed my eyes and could almost imagine being on the beach on the Big Island, sipping on the very finest. Honestly guys, if you enjoy coffee, try this!! I promise you, if you're a coffee lover, you WILL love this! I am now a loyal customer. Thanks for giving me this piece of Heaven!

First, this review pertains to Blue Horse Peaberry Kona ( I hope to some day try there standerd Kona and will revise this review to include my thoughts on that product). After finally trying this Kona I'm a believer. It's the Best!!! This is a 1st class Peaberry Kona in every way. Don't be fooled by others of lower quality, Blue Horse is the real thing. Fresh, unsurpassed quality, great price, supper fast shipping and great company philosophy. Give Blue Horse Peaberry Kona a try, it really is one of the best Kona out, in my opinion. Thanks guys, A
