About
Nestled in Honomalino Acres, South Kona, Aloha Star Coffee Farms is a family-owned estate established in 2013 by Armando and Karina Rodriguez, driven by a passion for authentic Hawaiian coffee. Originally King’s Cup, the farm rebranded to Aloha Star in 2020, inspired by their deep connection to Hawaii. They meticulously cultivate exclusively 100% Kona coffee on their own land, ensuring every bean embodies the Big Island's unique volcanic terroir and their profound commitment to locally grown excellence. Aloha Star exemplifies a true farm-to-cup philosophy, managing every stage from seedling to shipment. Beyond the classic Washed Kona, they skillfully employ their best-selling Honey process and a Dry/Natural method that yields intense, fruity flavor profiles. All their coffee is specialty-grade and artisan-roasted in small, on-demand batches, guaranteeing exceptional freshness. This dedication allows visitors to experience the diverse potential of locally grown Kona beans, including their smooth Kona Typica and other carefully cultivated varietals. What truly defines Aloha Star is their unwavering commitment to quality, sustainable farming, and the genuine character of 100% Kona coffee. Their eco-friendly practices and numerous accolades, including a 2023 Good Food Award and multiple People’s Choice wins at the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival, underscore their dedication. For an authentic taste of award-winning, locally grown Kona coffee crafted with passion and expertise, Aloha Star offers a remarkable experience.
