Growing Continuous soil testing is performed to insure that every generation of Kona Premium Estate Coffee grows in a soil mixture with an optimum nutrient composition. |

Processing With conventional coffee processing, after the skins are removed from the harvested coffee beans by a process called pulping, the beans are soaked in water for many hours in a step called "fermentation" . This often results in an inconsistent fermentation process that has a negative effect on the taste of the coffee as well as involving a large consumption and contamination of water.

Drying Increasingly, "better" quality coffees are being dried mechanically - producing a more consistent product but in some cases overcooking or contaminating the beans. Kona Premium uses a new and very advanced combination drying method to insure quality and enhance flavor. Kona Premium coffee beans are initially dried in the sun to take advantage of the chemical processes present in this drying technique. The beans are then carefully "finish dried" using low temperature dehydration. This two part drying method insures perfect consistency and retention of quality.

Kona Premium offers only the highest grades of coffee. An estate roast that combines the full range of flavors from the harvest, and the Private Reserve Roast that combines only the very largest beans with Peaberry Beans to produce a truly special flavor. Both of these grades are roasted at a "Medium Dark" temperature that is best suited for Kona Coffee.
