100% Hawaiian Coffee Sampler
Three Islands, Three Coffees, One Box
Hawai‘i grows more than one kind of coffee. Our 100% Hawaiian Coffee Sampler puts three of the islands’ most celebrated coffee regions side by side: Kona, Maui, and Ka‘u. One box, three 7 oz bags, and three distinct cups.
Whether you’re new to Hawaiian coffee or already have a favorite origin, the sampler makes it easy to taste the difference region by region. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves the flavors of the islands.
One Box, Three Growing Regions
Every Hawaiian coffee region has its own soil, elevation, and climate, and that shows up in the cup. This sampler gives you a 7 oz bag from three of them, so you can taste the difference for yourself.
Each bag is 100% Hawaiian coffee from a single region, and each is a medium roast. Click each region below to see where it’s grown and what to look for when you brew it.
Includes:
- Royal Kona Private Reserve 100% Kona Coffee, 7 oz
- Lion 100% Maui Coffee, 7 oz
- Royal Hawaiian 100% Ka‘u Coffee, 7 oz
Choose three bags of whole bean or three bags ground. The whole bean sampler (HB1012-7B) is $84.95.

Kona: The Coffee Belt on the Big Island
Where it’s grown: Kona coffee is grown in the Kona Coffee Belt, a strip of land about 1 mile wide and 30 miles long, halfway up the Hualalāi and Mauna Loa volcanoes on Hawai‘i Island. Bright sunny mornings, cloud-covered rainy afternoons, and mild nights, combined with rich volcanic soil, let the trees mature slowly. The cherries are hand picked.
Coffee grown anywhere else in Hawai‘i is Hawaiian coffee, but not Kona coffee.
In the cup: Royal Kona Private Reserve 100% Kona Coffee is a full-bodied medium roast that is aromatic and smooth, and it was judged “superior” by the American Academy of Taste. Look for a clean, mellow flavor with subtle notes of chocolate, toasted nuts, and a hint of bright fruit acidity.
Maui: Between the West Maui Mountains and Haleakalā
Where it’s grown: Lion 100% Maui Coffee is grown in the resilient hills of central Maui, in rich volcanic soil between the lush slopes of the West Maui Mountains and the heights of Haleakalā. The island’s exceptional growing conditions shape every bean.
In the cup: Made with 100% Arabica beans and roasted locally, this medium roast has distinctive notes of almond and dark chocolate, a full-bodied flavor, and a crisp finish.
Ka‘u: A Region Rising Alongside Kona
Where it’s grown: Royal Hawaiian 100% Ka‘u Coffee is grown in the rich volcanic soil of Hawai‘i’s Ka‘u district on the Big Island, an area quickly becoming as renowned as Kona. High elevation, ample sunshine, and frequent rainfall create ideal growing conditions, and the region has a long history of coffee cultivation.
In the cup: This medium roast has an intense flavor profile. Look for a rich, complex cup with hints of caramel, citrus, and chocolate. It’s 100% Hawaiian-grown coffee, grown and roasted in the USA.
Now Taste Them Side by Side
The sampler brings together three of Hawai‘i’s most iconic coffee brands: Royal Kona Coffee, Lion Coffee, and Royal Hawaiian Coffee. Each one represents a distinct island origin and its own tradition of excellence.
All three coffees are medium roasts, which makes the sampler a straightforward way to compare origins. Brew each one the same way and note what stands out in the cup.
The brewing guide on the box suggests 2 tablespoons of ground coffee to 6 ounces of fresh water, adjusted to taste. If you choose the whole bean sampler, grind each coffee fresh before brewing.
Taste Hawai‘i, Island by Island
Whether you’re treating yourself or sending a taste of Hawai‘i to someone special, the 100% Hawaiian Coffee Sampler is an easy way to discover which region’s coffee suits you best.
