About
BerryBird Coffee, sparked by a 2019 journey across the Big Island's coffee farms and officially established around 2021, is a heartfelt endeavor by founders Matt and Lisa to share the authentic aloha spirit through exceptional Hawaiian coffee. Their unique name and guiding ethos are beautifully inspired by "Lucky," a rescued hatchling bird, symbolizing care, resilience, and the joy of embracing each day. This narrative is woven into their mission: to bring the finest Hawaiian coffee, particularly from renowned local estates, to a wider audience. At the heart of BerryBird Coffee is a deep commitment to locally sourced Hawaiian beans, with a special focus on world-renowned Kona coffee and the celebrated, community-driven Kaʻū coffee, often described as being made "with heart." They meticulously select single-estate coffees, ensuring freshness by airfreighting beans to their roasting facility. Their roasting philosophy thoughtfully marries classic tastes with the innovative nuances of 3rd wave techniques, creating a unique profile. For those in Kailua-Kona, their offerings can be experienced at their Ali'i Gardens Marketplace shop or their pop-up at Ho'oulu Artisans Market. BerryBird’s dedication extends beyond the cup; they actively share their passion through educational content and even offer coffee training services. This approach, combined with their focus on premium, locally grown Hawaiian coffee like their single-origin Kona and Kaʻū selections, makes them a genuine purveyor of the islands' rich coffee heritage. They offer a welcoming gateway to the distinctive flavors and craftsmanship that define Hawaiian coffee, all delivered with a palpable spirit of aloha.
