This prime location in the heart of Kona's coffee belt benefits from the potent volcanic soil, ideal for cultivating the renowned Typica coffee variety.

Re-inventing the Kona Classic

This unique combination of techniques and the roasters' expertise have reinvented and elevated the beloved Kona classic to new heights of sophistication.
