About
Nestled on the scenic slopes of Hualalai Volcano along the Big Island's famed Kona Coast, Llanes Kona Coffee Estates carries a rich, multi-generational legacy. Founded by Sabas Llanes, this family farm is now proudly operated by the third generation, who continue the cherished tradition of cultivating exceptional 100% Single Estate Kona Coffee. They honor their heritage by meticulously overseeing every step of the process, from the volcanic soil of their Keauhou Mauka farm to your cup, ensuring an authentic taste of this unique Hawaiian coffee region. What truly defines the Llanes Kona Coffee experience is their comprehensive farm-to-cup philosophy. The family handpicks only the ripest red coffee cherries, then pulps, sun-dries, mills, and roasts the beans right on their estate. This dedication to quality shines through in their offerings, particularly the prized Peaberry beans—often called the "Champagne of Kona Coffee" for their richer, sweeter flavor. All their coffee is roasted to order in small batches, capturing peak freshness and the distinct character imparted by Kona's ideal growing conditions, famous for its sunny mornings, cloud-covered afternoons, and even the beautiful "Kona Snow"—the fragrant coffee blossoms that blanket the trees. Visitors and coffee connoisseurs can appreciate this commitment by purchasing directly from the farm, an approach that not only guarantees freshness but also supports their ethical and sustainable practices. Llanes Kona Coffee Estates offers more than just exceptional, locally grown coffee; they provide a genuine connection to the land and the generations who have passionately nurtured it, delivering a true taste of Kona's renowned coffee heritage.
