100% Kona
Our authentic Kona coffee is grown at an altitude of 1800 to 2000 feet in rich volcanic
soil along Hawaii's famed Kona Coast. Each lot of Kona coffee must be graded and
registered by the State of Hawaii. We guarantee that our Kona coffee is 100% pure
Kona Coffee.
Profile
Smooth-bodied with a nutty aroma and a sweet finish.
Place
Mt. Hualalai, Kona coast, Hawaii. The geographic indication of Kona Coffee is registered
to the State of Hawaii. Only genuine Kona from this region is legally allowed to
be labeled as Kona coffee.
People
A mixture of Island culture and transplants from the Mainland U.S. who are sincere
and casual, yet very serious about their coffee.
Process
Coffee fruit is processed from small and medium sized farms alike. There are a limited
number of processing facilities, so most small farm coffee is purchased by the larger
mills or milled under contract.
Pairing
Fresh blueberries or blackberries, blueberry muffins
Jamaica Blue Mountain
Our Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is grown at the Mavis Bank Estate - one of four
certified coffee producers of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee. Established in 1885,
this estate utilizes only spring water to sort the green beans, which are then ‘put
to sleep' for 3-4 months at 3000 feet where the coffee begins to develop, becoming
a greenish blue color.
Profile
Light-bodied with a spicy aroma, balanced flavor and a complex finish. Typical soft
lush Caribbean profile with less acidity than Kona, but more complex.
Place
Blue Mountains, Jamaica.
People
Established in the 1930's by Victor Munn, Mavis Bank was rebuilt by Munn's nephew
Keble Munn in the late 1950s. The Munn family still presides over the operations
today, processing fruit from the original property along with fruit delivered by
thousands of nearby farmers.
Process
Fully washed and 100% patio dried in the sun, most Jamaican Blue Mountain is comprised
of fruit from different farms over a broad region. The beans are processed at Wallenford
Estate, a facility owned by the Coffee Board. Like Kona, the use of the name is
affiliated with a specific region by law. Our Jamaican is a more specific product
processed at the Mavis Bank Central Factory at the proper elevation.
Pairing
Fresh Peaches or strawberries, blueberry muffin.
Brazil Cerrado
Our Brazilian coffee is "Specialty Grade" natural (dry processed) coffee from the
Cerrado region of Brazil, the world's largest coffee producing country.
Profile
Soft bodied with earthy flavor and subtle walnut notes.
Place
Cerrado region, Brazil.
People
Brazil is the largest producer of coffee in the world. The Cerrado region is well
known for its uniquely processed coffee.
Process
Natural dry-processed coffee uses a unique method which requires the trees to be
nourished by water beyond the ripeness of the cherries. This process requires twice
as much time because the fruit has to ripen, darken and dry on the branch. This
is by far one of the most unique and elaborate ways to process coffee, offering
a nicely fruity and bright aftertaste.
Pairing
Fresh bananas, dates, banana nut muffin, carrot cake.
House Blend
Our House Blend is a combination of natural and washed Central and South American
coffees. This longtime customer favorite combines brightness and softness for a
flavor and aroma that everyone can enjoy.
Profile
Light-bodied with a subtle fruity aroma and buttery finish.
Place
Costa Rica, Colombia and Brazil
People
This blend is over one hundred years old!
Process
Costa Rican coffee is a wash processed, while both Colombian and Brazilian are dry
processed.
Pairing
Fresh peaches, nectarines or plums, currant or raisin scone.
