100% Kona Coffee — Honey Process Dark Roast

Bean or Ground:
Frequency:

Choose this coffee for a rich, full-bodied Dark Roast with Honey Process sweetness beneath the chocolate and roasted-nut depth.

Our family-estate 100% Kona coffee is pulped, sun-dried with natural fruit mucilage remaining, and dark roasted in small batches. Honey processing develops sweetness and body before roasting; the Dark profile then builds bold chocolate, caramel, and nut character.

This is the deeper expression of our signature process: smooth, comforting, and roast-forward, with enough natural sweetness to remain balanced. It is especially satisfying in espresso, moka pot, French press, cold brew, and drinks with milk.

Flavor profile

Naturally occurring tasting notes; no honey, flavorings, syrups, or sweeteners are added.

·     Dark chocolate, hazelnut, chestnut, and almond

·     Caramel and brown sugar

·     Full body, low perceived brightness, and a smooth finish

Best for

·     Espresso, moka pot, or Americano

·     French press, automatic drip, or cold brew

·     Cappuccino, latte, and other milk-based drinks

  • Honey Process coffee is pulped after harvest, then dried with some of the natural coffee fruit mucilage still surrounding the bean.This method brings out a natural sweetness, fruity complexity, and a smooth body in the cup.
