About
Nestled in the Kona coffee belt, Old Hawaiian Coffee has been a family affair since Misha Sperka, a man with a rich history including service as a US Navy Deep Sea Salvage Officer and worldwide sailing adventures, established the farm in 1992. Now guided by his son Erik, the business remains steadfastly dedicated to traditional family farming, fostering a direct connection from their fields to your cup with their signature 100% Pure Estate Grown Kona Coffee, embodying a "Real coffee connection." What truly distinguishes Old Hawaiian Coffee is their meticulous, hands-on control over the entire coffee journey. On their ten-acre farm, they not only cultivate their prized Kona beans using traditional methods, including hand-picking, but also manage every subsequent step: pulping, drying, milling, and small-batch roasting. This "farm-to-cup" integrity ensures the coffee never leaves their estate until it's perfectly prepared and shipped. Their commitment to the local coffee community shines through as they also process beans for about a dozen other small farms in the Kona area. For those seeking an authentic understanding of coffee, Old Hawaiian Coffee offers pre-arranged farm tours, providing a genuine insight into traditional Kona coffee production, from witnessing the delicate "Kona Snow" flowering to the art of roasting. Their coffee, exclusively available farmer-direct and its availability tied to the annual harvest, is a sought-after treasure. The enduring success of their monthly Coffee Club, active since 1992, further attests to the exceptional quality and loyal following they've cultivated, offering a true taste of Kona's dedication.
