Our Espresso Bean is from Maui. It is a medium roast with hints of caramel and fruit, with a good kick. Did you know?
Overall the temperatures of the Hawaiian Islands region are mild year round with seasonal tropical rains, and there is no frost that can damage the coffee crop. Other important factors explaining the high quality of Hawaiian coffee include: the rocky landscape has rich and well-drained, rich, dark volcanic soil which is porous and well-drained, and with a low PH (slightly acidic) and high nitrogen; there are very few diseases and pests that can harm the coffee trees; great care is taken in hand-picking only the ripest, reddest berries; and special care is also taken during the drying, milling, grading, and roasting. These various factors – including the perfect combination of sun, soil, and water along with careful processing – all combine to create the world’s best gourmet coffee!
