About
Nestled in the fertile Keopu Mauka area of Holualoa, on Hawaii's Big Island, Keopu Coffee is a small, family-operated organic farm dedicated to cultivating premium 100% Kona coffee. Situated at an ideal 2200-foot elevation on the slopes of Mt. Hualalai, the farm benefits from rich volcanic soil and ample rainfall, prime conditions for exceptional, locally grown beans. What began as a family hobby in 1998 with a single acre has blossomed into a passionate enterprise, deeply rooted in producing an authentic taste of Kona. Under the stewardship of Isaac Gillette, Keopu Coffee's journey highlights a genuine commitment to their craft. The family expanded their groves and impressively hand-built their own mill, allowing them to meticulously oversee every stage of production. From carefully hand-picking the coffee cherries to naturally sun-drying them on a large deck, their hands-on process ensures the premium quality of their estate-grown coffee. Though they previously held USDA Organic certification, their dedication to organic farming principles remains steadfast, focusing on sustainable methods. This commitment is why many locals consider their coffee among the finest, and visitors can experience this locally sourced treasure through their online store or select retail partners.
