Kona Premium
Green Coffees

In the Kona Premium warehouse coffee is stored in parchment until ready for the next step. It is then milled to green coffee as close to roasting or shipment as possible to insure freshness. All Kona Premium coffee, whether parchment or green, is stored under careful temperature and humidity control to retain perfect quality.

Private Reserve The very largest high mountain grown Kona bean, certified by the State of Hawaii Department of Agriculture as "Extra Fancy" grade are roasted with a delicate hint of Peaberry, the rarest of coffee beans for a thoroughly unforgettable coffee flavor.

Estate Coffee Defined by the Kona Coffee Council as "the product of one farm, unmixed with crops from other farms, and processed through to roast under the control of the estate farm". We call it "the full flavor of the harvest" because the coffee represents the full fruiting of the tree, with complex flavors and a rich earthy taste. As farmers, when we think of the land, we think of estate coffee.

Pure Extra Fancy Simply that. The finest coffee Kona has to offer. Extra fancy typically only grows high on the mountain where the cool temperatures and shady afternoons allow the beans to mature slowly and achieve very large size and high density. This very special grade is sought after from London to Tokyo as the coffee of coffees.

Peaberry The rarest of beans. The coffee cherry from the tree typically contains two beans, each a half round. The peaberry is an undivided bean, fully round in shape. The result of harsh growing conditions or its' location on the tree. It is as if all of the flavors of the most premium bean was stored away in a very small place.
