Product Description

Estate-grown. Washed processed. Dark roasted for a rich, smooth Kona cup with deep chocolate, caramel, and roasted-nut character.

Aloha Star 100% Kona Coffee — Washed Process Dark Roast is grown, processed, small-batch roasted, and shipped directly from our family farm in South Kona, Hawaiʻi.

Our ripe coffee cherries are hand-picked, pulped, fermented, rinsed, and carefully dried in parchment. This traditional washed process creates a clean foundation before the coffee is developed into a deeper dark-roast profile.

The darker roast brings forward a fuller body and pronounced notes of dark chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, and roasted nuts while reducing the brighter fruit character found in our lighter roasts. The result is a rich and satisfying cup with a smooth finish and clearly defined roast character.

Flavor Profile

Dark chocolate · Walnut · Raisin · Brown sugar · Chestnut · Caramel · Almond

These tasting notes occur naturally in the coffee. No flavors, syrups, or additives are used.

Choose This Coffee If You Prefer

  • A rich and full-bodied dark roast

  • Deep chocolate, caramel, and roasted-nut character

  • Less perceived brightness than a medium or Full City roast

  • A smooth dark coffee with a clean washed-process foundation

  • Coffee that stands up well to milk

  • A bold cup for espresso, French press, moka pot, or drip brewing

Recommended Brewing Methods

This Dark Roast is especially well suited for:

  • Espresso

  • Moka pot

  • French press

  • Drip coffee

  • AeroPress

  • Americano

  • Cold brew

  • Iced coffee

Espresso and moka pot emphasize its dark-chocolate, caramel, and roasted-nut character. French press creates a rich, full-bodied cup, while drip brewing produces a smoother everyday dark roast.

Its deeper profile also works especially well in lattes, cappuccinos, cortados, flat whites, and other milk-based drinks.

For the freshest flavor, choose whole bean and grind immediately before brewing.

FAQ:

  • 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.
