MAKAWAO, HAWAII — Flavor Waves, Inc., a custom flavor development company, has launched Cappuccino Crunch, a line of coffee-infused cereals.

The coffee cereals are made with 100% Arabica coffee beans from around the world, and are available in four flavors: Kona blend, mocha, cappuccino and chai spice. The cereals are all natural, gluten-free and cholesterol free.

Each of the cereals delivers 35 mg of caffeine per serving, which Cappuccino Crunch said is about 25% of the level of caffeine in a cup of coffee.

The cereals are available in 8-oz slender bags that resemble a bag of coffee grounds and sell for $5.99 on cappuccinocrunch.com. The cereal also is available in select retail outlets in Hawaii.
