FAQ:
-
Yes. This coffee is 100% Kona coffee grown exclusively on our family farm in Kona, Hawaiʻi. It is not a 10% Kona blend or a coffee blended with beans from other origins.
-
Private Reserve means this coffee comes from our own estate-grown Kona coffee. It is not a blend from multiple farms or regions.
Our Private Reserve reflects our highest level of traceability, care, and seed-to-cup craftsmanship: We grow, harvest, process, roast, and ship our coffee directly from our farm.
-
Honey Process (pulp-dried) 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. It’s called Honey because, during drying, the beans take on a honey-like look and aroma. No actual bee honey is added to the coffee.
-
Full City Roast is a medium-dark roast level. It is roasted slightly deeper than a medium roast. This coffee has a smooth, rich, and balanced profile with deeper sweetness and a rounder body than our Honey Process Medium Roast.
In the cup, expect notes of caramelized sugar, cocoa, roasted almond, hazelnut, dried fruit, and brown sugar, with a clean Kona finish.
-
This Full City Roast is excellent for drip coffee, French press, moka pot, AeroPress, espresso, Americano, cold brew, and iced coffee. Its deeper body and caramelized sweetness also make it a great choice for cortados, cappuccinos, flat whites, and small lattes.
-
Yes. This Honey Process Full City Roast works very well for espresso because it has enough body, sweetness, and depth to create a smooth, rich shot. It is especially good for customers who want espresso with natural sweetness and balance rather than a very dark, smoky profile.
-
Yes. This Full City Roast pairs beautifully with milk in cortados, cappuccinos, flat whites, and small lattes. Its caramelized sweetness, cocoa notes, and smooth body work well with milk without overpowering the natural Kona character.
-
The Medium Roast is the most expressive and fruit-forward, highlighting the Honey Process sweetness and bright Kona character.
The Full City Roast adds more depth, body, and caramelized sweetness. Choose the Full City Roast if you want a smooth, rich coffee with caramel, cocoa, nutty sweetness, and a clean finish.
The Dark Roast is richer and bolder, with deeper chocolate and roasted notes. Choose the Dark Roast if you prefer a deeper, bolder, more intense cup with stronger roast character, especially for espresso, French press, moka pot, or larger milk-based drinks.
-
Our Washed Process coffee is typically cleaner, brighter, and more classic in flavor. Our Honey Process coffee has more natural sweetness, a silkier body, and more fruit complexity because the coffee is dried with some of the fruit mucilage still on the bean.
-
Whole bean is best if you have a grinder, because it preserves freshness and aroma longer. Ground coffee is a convenient option if you do not grind at home.
-
Yes. A subscription is a great way to enjoy fresh 100% Kona coffee regularly while saving on repeat orders.
-
Store your coffee in a sealed container at room temperature, away from light, heat, moisture, and strong odors. For best flavor, avoid storing it in the refrigerator.
