Small-Batch Cooperative Lot Release
Micro-Roasted to Order | NET WT 12 OZ (340 G)
Grown along the volcanic slopes of Hawaii’s celebrated Kona District, this Hawaiian Kona offering presents a composed and approachable expression of one of the world’s most recognizable coffee origins. Sourced from a cooperative of small family farms on the Big Island, the coffee reflects the balance, sweetness, and smooth texture long associated with well-cultivated Kona coffees.
Carefully washed and sun-dried, this lot produces a clean, rounded cup with gentle acidity and layered sweetness. Notes of milk chocolate and roasted nut unfold across a silky body, complemented by subtle tropical nuance and a smooth, lingering finish. Rather than intensity, the profile emphasizes harmony and drinkability—capturing the refined character that defines classic Kona coffee.
The Farmer Details
This coffee is sourced from a cooperative network of small, family-run farms located along the western slopes of Mauna Loa and Hualālai within Hawaii’s Kona District on the Big Island.
Farms across the region benefit from volcanic soils, consistent rainfall, and protective afternoon cloud cover—conditions that allow coffee cherries to mature slowly and develop the smooth, balanced character for which Kona coffees are known. Cherries are selectively hand-harvested and processed using traditional washed methods before being sun-dried on patios.
Roast Level & Flavor Profiles
Light-Medium Roast — Bright island sweetness with silky body and balanced acidity. Honey and golden sugar tones lead the cup, followed by hints of citrus zest and gentle tropical fruit brightness. Soft florals and macadamia-like nuttiness complete a clean, elegant finish that captures Kona’s signature clarity.
Medium Roast — Creamy, smooth, and luxuriously sweet. Milk chocolate, roasted almond, and macadamia dominate the cup, layered with subtle fruit and delicate floral undertones. The body becomes velvety and full, finishing with gentle tropical warmth and lingering sweetness.
