Estate-grown. Honey processed. Dark roasted for a rich, smooth Kona cup.

Our Private Reserve 100% Kona Honey Process Dark Roast is grown exclusively on our family estate farm in Kona, Hawaiʻi, then hand-picked, processed, roasted, packed, and shipped directly from our farm to you.

Crafted for those who enjoy a deeper, richer cup, this dark roast brings out a smooth, full-bodied profile with notes of dark chocolate, hazelnut, chestnut, caramel, almond, and brown sugar. It delivers bold, comforting richness while preserving the clean finish and natural sweetness that make true Kona coffee so distinctive.

The Honey Process allows the coffee to dry with its natural mucilage after pulping, adding body, sweetness, and depth before the beans are dark-roasted to create a polished, satisfying cup.

Our estate-grown Honey Process coffee was the winning coffee behind Pacific Coffee Research’s 2023 Good Food Awards submission. The coffee was roasted and submitted by Pacific Coffee Research of Kailua-Kona, Hawaiʻi, with Aloha Star Kona Coffee Farm recognized as the producer.
