Location

Nestled in the hills of Hualalai, our location is ideal for growing Kona Typica variety. This unique land is blessed with temperate weather and rich, fertile volcanic soil. The temperate climate offers consistent temperatures to ensure a stable growing environment allowing our coffee cherries to mature slowly and evenly. The consistent rainfall, which provides ample moisture for our trees allows for no artificial irrigation and the volcanic soil is packed with essential minerals that provide the perfect nutrients for coffee trees to grow.

Nursery

Here at Kona Crown Coffee we are not only focused on growing the finest Kona Coffee. We are also focused on growing the next generation of Coffee trees and supplying these healthy trees to farms here on the Big Island.

Harvesting

Our beans are handpicked at peak ripeness, ensuring that only the finest cherries make it into our roasts. This meticulous attention to detail, combined with our ideal growing conditions, results in a coffee that is smooth, rich, and full of complex flavors.
