Brewing Recommendations
French press or automatic drip
Espresso or moka pot
Cold brew or milk-based drinks
Start near a 1:15–1:16 coffee-to-water ratio with water around 190–198°F. If the cup tastes bitter or dry, use slightly cooler water or a coarser grind; if it tastes thin, grind a little finer.
From Our Farm
After ripe cherries are hand-picked, the fruit is removed and the coffee is carefully fermented, rinsed, and dried in parchment. This traditional Washed Process creates clean flavor definition and keeps the farm’s origin character at the center of the cup.
Dark roasting brings forward deep chocolate, caramelized sugar, and roasted-nut character while softening the brighter fruit notes found in our lighter roasts. The clean Washed Process foundation helps the finish remain polished.
Aloha Star’s Washed Process coffee earned 6th Place and Statewide Top Ten recognition at the 2021 Hawaiʻi Coffee Association Cupping Competition, scoring 85.85 points. That recognition belongs to the Washed Process entry; it is not a claim that every roast is the competition sample.

Estate-grown, award-winning Kona coffee. Honey processed. Medium roasted for a smooth, naturally sweet Kona cup.
Aloha Star Private Reserve 100% Kona Coffee Honey Process Medium Roast is a farm-direct, estate-grown specialty coffee from our family farm in Kona, Hawaiʻi. Crafted from our Private Reserve lot, this coffee is ideal for those who enjoy a fruit-forward Kona cup with natural sweetness, silky body, and full seed-to-cup traceability.
Our Honey Process coffee is pulped, then sun-dried with its natural mucilage still surrounding the bean. This careful drying method helps develop sweetness, fruit complexity, and body before the coffee is roasted to a balanced medium profile that preserves its expressive Kona character.
In the cup, expect layered notes of dried cherry, caramel, brown sugar, green grape, dried apple, fruit punch, and a subtle hint of anise. The result is a smooth, elegant cup with bright fruit character, caramel-like sweetness, silky body, and a clean finish.
Best For / Brewing Methods
This coffee is best enjoyed as pour-over, drip coffee, AeroPress, iced coffee, cold brew, or Americano, where its fruit complexity, natural sweetness, and smooth Kona character can shine. It also works beautifully in lighter milk drinks such as cortados, cappuccinos, and flat whites for a naturally sweet, balanced cup.
For Roasters & Wholesale Buyers
Roasters, cafés, and wholesale buyers looking for a distinctive farm-direct Kona offering will appreciate its single-farm traceability, estate-grown origin, honey-process character, and refined roast profile.

RARE KONA VARIETY
✓ Free U.S. shipping automatically applies to orders of $99 or more.
Estate-grown. Naturally processed. Medium-light roasted to preserve the elegant floral aromatics, layered fruit, and honeyed sweetness of this rare Kona Gesha coffee.
A Rare Expression of 100% Kona Coffee
Discover one of the most distinctive coffees grown on our family farm in South Kona, Hawaiʻi.
Our 100% Kona Gesha Coffee is produced exclusively from the celebrated Gesha—also spelled Geisha—coffee variety. Known for its expressive floral fragrance, refined sweetness, and complex fruit character, Gesha offers a tasting experience that is noticeably different from a traditional Kona cup.
The coffee is grown, hand-picked, naturally processed, sun-dried, small-batch roasted, packaged, and shipped directly from our single-estate farm. It is never blended with coffee from another farm, region, or country.
Because we grow this variety in limited quantities, availability may change throughout the year.
Natural Process and Medium-Light Roast
For the Natural Process, only ripe coffee cherries are selected and dried slowly with the fruit surrounding the beans. During this extended drying period, the coffee develops greater fruit intensity, natural sweetness, and aromatic complexity.
After drying, the fruit and protective layers are carefully removed before the green coffee is prepared for roasting.
We use a medium-light roast to preserve the Gesha variety’s delicate floral qualities and vibrant fruit notes while developing a smooth, balanced sweetness. The result is an elegant, expressive coffee with a complex aroma and a fruit-forward finish.
Flavor Profile
Tasting notes: Jasmine, apple, pear, berries, mango, honey, floral aromatics, and natural fruit sweetness.
Expect an inviting floral fragrance followed by layers of crisp apple and pear, ripe berries, tropical mango, and a soft honey-like sweetness.
Choose This Coffee If You Prefer
Choose our Kona Gesha Natural Process if you enjoy:
Floral and fruit-forward specialty coffees
Rare or limited-production coffee varieties
Naturally sweet coffees with layered tasting notes
A more expressive and aromatic cup than a traditional washed Kona coffee
Coffees designed for slow, intentional brewing and tasting
A distinctive gift for a specialty-coffee enthusiast
Recommended Brewing Methods
Our first recommendation: Pour-over
A pour-over brewer helps reveal the Gesha’s floral aromatics, layered fruit, and delicate sweetness. V60, Chemex, Kalita Wave, and similar manual brewers are excellent choices.
This coffee can also be prepared using:
Automatic drip coffee maker
French press
AeroPress
Espresso machine
Moka pot
Cold brew
For the clearest expression of its flavor, enjoy it black first and allow it to cool slightly. Different fruit and floral notes may become more noticeable as the coffee’s temperature changes.
Naturally Occurring Tasting Notes
The jasmine, apple, pear, berry, mango, and honey notes occur naturally through the Gesha variety, our South Kona growing environment, the Natural Process, and careful roasting.
No flavorings, syrups, sweeteners, or additives are used.

FAQs:
-
Yes. Aloha Star sells estate-grown 100% Kona coffee grown and processed exclusively on our family farm in South Kona, Hawaiʻi, within the Kona Coffee District. It is not mixed with coffee from other origins.
-
A 100% Kona coffee contains only coffee grown in the Kona Coffee District. A Kona blend may contain a much smaller percentage of Kona coffee combined with coffee grown elsewhere. Aloha Star sells estate-grown 100% Kona coffee—not Kona blends.
-
Every coffee we sell is grown on our family farm in South Kona. We oversee the process from hand-picking and processing through small-batch roasting and farm-direct shipping.
-
These terms describe how the coffee fruit is handled after the cherries are picked, and each method can influence the coffee’s sweetness, body, and flavor.
Washed Process: The fruit is removed from the coffee bean before drying. This method often produces a clean, balanced cup with clear acidity and a classic Kona coffee character.
Honey Process: The outer skin is removed, but some of the fruit’s sticky natural layer, called mucilage, remains on the bean while it dries. This can develop more natural sweetness, a silky body, and greater fruit complexity.
Natural Process: The whole coffee cherry is dried with the bean still inside the fruit. This longer contact with the fruit can create a fuller body and more pronounced fruit-forward flavors.
All three methods begin with ripe, carefully selected coffee cherries, but they create different expressions of the same farm and origin.
-
Our 100% Kona coffee is artisan-roasted in small batches and shipped directly from our family farm in Kona, Hawaiʻi to ensure exceptional freshness. We offer a variety of shipping options, with available methods and estimated delivery times displayed during checkout.
