FAQ:

  • Yes. This coffee is 100% Kona coffee grown exclusively on our family farm in Kona, Hawaiʻi. It is not a blend and does not contain coffee from any other origin.

  • In the Washed Process, the fruit is removed before the coffee is fermented, rinsed, and dried in parchment, producing a clean, well-defined cup.

  • Our Private Reserve 100% Kona Coffee is Aloha Star’s proprietary preparation of estate-grown Extra Fancy (#19), Fancy (#18), and Hawaiʻi No. 1 (#16) screen sizes, optically sorted to an internal standard of no more than five full imperfections per 300 grams. It is not an official Hawaiʻi Department of Agriculture grade.

    This coffee comes from our own estate-grown production and represents our seed-to-cup quality promise. We grow, harvest, process, roast, and ship our coffee directly from our farm.

  • Yes. We roast in small batches, so the coffee arrives fresh and flavorful. For the best experience, store the coffee in an airtight container away from heat, light, and moisture.

  • Surface oil can vary with roast timing, batch, and freshness. This is a true Dark Roast; contact the farm before ordering if your grinder or brewer has restrictions on oily beans.

  • Not necessarily. We develop this roast for bold chocolate and roasted-nut character with a smooth finish. Brewing too hot or extracting too long can still create bitterness.

  • Both are bold, smooth Dark Roasts made from estate-grown 100% Kona coffee. The Washed Process Dark Roast offers a cleaner, more defined cup with deep chocolate, caramel, walnut, and roasted-nut character. The Honey Process Dark Roast is naturally sweeter and rounder-bodied, with chocolate, caramel, hazelnut, chestnut, and brown-sugar notes. Choose Washed for clean definition or Honey for greater sweetness and body. No honey is added.

  • Choose whole bean if you have a grinder because it preserves aroma longer. Otherwise, choose the grind that matches your brewer: coarse for French press, regular for drip, or fine for espresso.

  • Select fine/espresso. Choose whole bean if your espresso grinder is designed for dark-roasted coffee.
