About This Coffee

Grown on the volcanic slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Loa on Hawaii's Big Island, Kona coffee is one of the world's most famous (and often expensive) origins. 'Extra Fancy' is the highest grade based on bean size and defect count. Kona coffee is prized for its exceptionally smooth body, mild character, and low acidity. Expect notes of milk chocolate, creamy macadamia nut, and a subtle sweetness reminiscent of honey. Sometimes, faint berry or floral notes can be detected. While not typically as intense or complex as some other specialty origins, its supreme smoothness and balance make it highly sought after.

Coffee Varieties

Kona Typica refers to a specific strain of the Typica variety that adapted over generations to the unique volcanic soil and microclimate of Hawaii's Kona district. True Kona coffee made from this variety is known for its exceptionally smooth, clean, and well-balanced cup. It typically has a medium body, bright acidity, and features subtle nutty and caramel notes.
