Hawaii natural Arabica Kona Aloha Farms Grade Number 1

Rich volcanic soil, misty afternoons, with moderate temperatures and gentle ocean breezes, provide the ideal climate for growing Kona Coffee, the most well-known coffee-growing region in Hawaii. A long history of production has helped build the reputation of coffees from Kona. However, this has not been hassle-free, as challenges arose in the past due to misuse of the "Kona" trademark.

Kona's coffee scene is characterized by numerous family-operated farms, including Aloha Farms Hawaii. Established in 2009, this family-run cooperative represents 33 independent farmers. Together they contributed to a quarter of all Kona green coffee processed in Hawaii in 2019. Strongly believing in sustainable agriculture and regenerative coffee production, Aloha Farms also offers USDA Organic-certified coffees.

All their farms are located on the Mount Hualalai portion of the Big Island of Hawaii, under the tropical terrain of the active Mount Hualalai/Mauna Loa volcano. Thanks to the rich volcanic soils in the area, coffee here has ideal conditions to thrive. This washed Kona is one of them. After being hand-picked, it underwent washed processing and then sun-dried on elevated beds. Beyond coffee production, Aloha Farms embraces diverse agriculture, incorporating macadamia nuts, avocados, sea salt, and honey into its offerings.
