10% Kona Coffee Blend
Read the label: this is 10 percent Kona. The other 90 percent comes from Brazil and Costa Rica. That isn't a knock, it's what the name means. You get a washed, medium-roast blend with floral, citrus and cocoa notes and a little Hawaiian coffee in the mix.
Pick it if cocoa sounds good to you.
Best for Kona-curious drinkers who don't want to pay for a pure Kona bag

Apollo is always Ethiopian, always washed, and Counter Culture roasts it medium. The notes read citrus, floral and silky. That's a lighter, cleaner profile than most medium roasts promise. It's organic and kosher, and the bag carries its roast date.
Pick it if silky sounds good to you; organic matters to you.
Best for Anyone moving from dark roasts toward something brighter
