About
Kona Joe Coffee, gracing a twenty-acre estate on Mauna Loa's slopes since 1994, is the inspiring result of Joe and Deepa Alban's dedication to Hawaii's renowned coffee. This isn't just a farm; it's a hub of innovation, particularly known for Joe's pioneering, patented trellis system for cultivating coffee trees, a method akin to fine viticulture. This world-first approach, even featured on History Channel's 'Modern Marvels,' ensures their locally grown Kona Typica beans achieve uniform ripeness, unlocking a distinctively rich and complex flavor profile that truly represents the best of the Kona district. The commitment here is to 100% pure estate Kona coffee, reflecting a deep understanding of terroir and the meticulous care involved from bean to cup. Cherries are hand-picked, processed with precision, and the beans are slow-roasted in small batches to preserve their exquisite, authentic Kona character. For over 25 years, Kona Joe has offered insights into their unique operations and the passion that drives them, allowing visitors to appreciate the craft behind exceptional, locally sourced Hawaiian coffee. It's a genuine opportunity to connect with the story of innovation and quality in the heart of coffee country.
