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.
-
In the Washed Process, the outer skin and fruit are removed from the coffee cherries after harvest. The beans are then carefully fermented, washed, and dried.
This method typically produces a clean, balanced cup with greater flavor clarity, allowing the coffee’s natural sweetness, brightness, and origin characteristics to stand out.
-
Full City is a medium-dark roast level. It develops more body, caramelized sweetness, chocolate, and toasted-nut character than a medium-light roast without reaching the deeper roast intensity of a dark roast.
-
This coffee has a smooth and balanced profile with tropical fruit, citrus, plum, raisin, toasted nuts, vanilla, chocolate, and caramel notes. The Full City roast adds body and sweetness while preserving the clean structure associated with washed-process coffee.
-
The Medium-Light Roast emphasizes gentle brightness, fruit expression, clarity, and aromatic complexity.
The Full City Roast has a rounder body and more developed chocolate, caramel, vanilla, raisin, and toasted-nut notes. It is a good choice when you want a richer coffee while retaining a clean Kona character.
-
The Full City Roast retains more fruit, citrus, and origin character. It provides a middle ground between the brighter Medium-Light Roast and the more roast-forward Dark Roast.
The Dark Roast has a fuller body, less perceived brightness, and deeper dark-chocolate, walnut, almond, chestnut, raisin, brown-sugar, and caramel notes.
-
The Washed Full City has a cleaner, more structured, and more classic Kona profile.
The Honey Process Full City generally offers greater perceived sweetness, a silkier body, and more fruit complexity because the coffee is dried with some of its natural fruit mucilage surrounding the bean.
Choose the Washed Full City for a clean, balanced cup or the Honey Full City for a sweeter, more fruit-driven expression.
-
The Medium-Light Roast provides the cleanest and most aromatic expression, with gentle brightness and clearly defined origin characteristics.
The Full City Roast develops greater body, deeper caramelized sweetness, and a richer overall profile.
The Dark Roast is bolder and more roast-forward, with deeper flavors and lower perceived brightness.
-
Yes. The Full City Roast produces a balanced espresso with chocolate, caramel, vanilla, toasted-nut, and subtle fruit notes. It can be enjoyed as a straight espresso and also works well in cappuccinos, cortados, flat whites, and lattes.
-
This is one of the most versatile roast levels. It works well with drip coffee, pour-over, French press, AeroPress, espresso, moka pot, Americano, cold brew, and iced coffee.
Choose drip or pour-over for clarity, French press for more body, or espresso and moka pot for concentrated chocolate and caramel character.
-
Choose whole bean when you have a grinder, as grinding immediately before brewing helps preserve the coffee’s aroma and flavor.
Choose coarse grind for French press, regular grind for drip coffee, or fine grind for espresso-style brewing.
Storage suggestion:
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.
