Description

94 POINTS: SMOOTH & BALANCED | DARK ROAST KONA COFFEE Bold yet remarkably smooth, Kona Moon is a dark roast for those who crave depth without bitterness. Grown on a single farm in the Kona District — the same farm as our lighter roast, Kona Bloom — this 100% Kona coffee delivers the rich, chocolatey elegance the region is famed for, with a toasty, sweet finish reminiscent of dark chocolate, hazelnut and graham cracker cookies. Unlike many dark roasts that lean harsh or smoky, Kona Moon maintains balance and clarity in the cup. Its naturally low acidity and full body make it ideal for espresso, press pot, or a bold drip brew. Refined from Farm to Cup What distinguishes Kona Moon is not just the origin — it’s the meticulous refinement behind every batch. After milling, we implement three additional quality steps that elevate this coffee to specialty-grade status Grading: Ensures bean uniformity by separating sizes and removing visual defects. Optical Sorting: Eliminates discolored, underripe, or damaged beans that compromise flavor. Grain-Pro Storage: Protects the coffee’s integrity from Hawai‘i’s humidity to maintain freshness year-round. These steps, paired with the hand-harvested ripeness of the Kona cherry, create a coffee free from the imbalances often found in commodity Kona or 10% blends. Roasted-to-order at our flagship café and roastery in Hilo, Kona Moon represents a darker, richer side of Kona coffee — one that honors the region’s heritage and elevates the standard for dark roasts. Kona Moon Blind Review, Coffee Review Blind Assessment: Evaluated as espresso. Deep-toned, richly sweet, multilayered. Dark chocolate, vanilla panna cotta, hazelnut, narcissus, pink peppercorn in aroma and small cup. Syrupy-smooth mouthfeel; chocolaty, sweetly nutty finish. In cappuccino format, dessert-like in its chocolaty sweetness, with a hint of pink peppercorn underneath. Notes: Produced entirely of the Typica variety of Arabica and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh removed from the beans before drying). Big Island Coffee Roasters is an award-winning coffee roaster operated with hands-on passion by Kelleigh Stewart and Brandon von Damitz.

Ka'u Maragogipe | Giant Elephant Bean

A Unique Big Island Favorite: Kaʻu Giant Maragogipe Maragogipe is a unique giant bean coffee that is considered a top-tier variety by coffee connoisseurs around the world. As one of our top requested coffees, it’s highly sought after and offered just a few times each year. Maragogipe has been planted in a handful of farms across the Hawaiian Islands, most notably in the Ka‘ū district, but usually planted in very low numbers and scattered amongst the more dominant varieties like Typica and Caturra. Maragogipe is a natural mutation of Typica (an Arabica species) that was first identified in 1870 in the Brazilian city of Maragogipe. It’s often referred to as “elephant bean” coffee. For over a century, it was considered an inferior variety, as its low yield and rust susceptibility made it unfavorable compared to more common commercial varieties. Hence, coffee growers commonly replace it with varieties that have stronger yields and improved disease resistance. This Kaʻū Maragogipe is milled in small batches and roasted to order. OVERALL RATING: 94 Notes: Produced on a small farm in the Ka’u growing region and processed by the wet, or washed method. Big Island Coffee is an award-winning coffee roaster and coffee farm operated with hands-on passion by Kelleigh Stewart and Brandon von Damitz. Coffee Review blind assessment: A beautiful expression of the giant Maragogipe variety of Arabica: rich, deep, and confident, with notes of wild honey and sweet stone fruit. Deep-toned, sweetly savory. White nectarine, narcissus, hop flowers, sandalwood, wild honey in aroma and cup. Blind assessment: Deep-toned, sweetly savory. White nectarine, narcissus, hop flowers, sandalwood, wild honey in aroma and cup. Richly sweet structure with gentle, round but engaging acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. Richly bittersweet finish centered around honey and hop flowers in the short with nectarine notes returning in the long. The bottom line: A beautiful expression of the giant Maragogipe variety of Arabica: rich, deep, and confident, with notes of wild honey and sweet stone fruit.

Kaʻu Morning Glory | 100% Kaʻu Coffee

Our honey-processed Kaʻū Morning Glory is our bright and sweet signature Kaʻū coffee. It’s notable for long and juicy fruit tones, a medium-full body, and a sweet candied nut finish. Despite the reference to honey, no apiary products were used in the making of this beautiful coffee. Like “natural” or “washed,” “honey” is a coffee processing method; the important step of separating the outer layer of a coffee cherry from the inner seed or “bean.” When the skin is removed, sticky, sweet mucilage is exposed and its golden amber color is reminiscent of honey. Hence we call it honey-processed coffee. Delightful for espresso or pour-over, our yellow honeyed Kaʻū coffees are rich yet mellow, never bitter or acidic. The flavor notes are often similar to real honey: floral, sweet, buttery, and smooth with an ever-so-slight hint of fruit and blossoms. Often you'll catch the aroma of vanilla, nougat, or honey, regardless of the roast level.

Hawaiian Harmony | 100% Hawaiian Espresso & Filter Blend

This 100% Hawaiian blend is crafted for those who enjoy a medium-full creamy mouthfeel with low acidity in their coffee. While originally created for Hawaiian espresso, this versatile Kaʻū and Kona blend is also a popular choice for everyday use in filter, pour over and press pot. As an espresso, it presents a silky crema, low acidity, and a balance between medium and medium-dark roast flavor profiles. No matter how you brew it, Hawaiian Harmony offers delightful notes of butterscotch, cocoa, nutmeg, and dried fruit, with a hint of whisky.

Kona Bloom | Medium-Light Roast Kona Coffee

For bright and sweet coffee lovers, our lighter 100% Kona medium roast coffee - Kona Bloom - comes from the same farm as our popular Kona dark roast called Kona Moon. It's a naturally sweet and floral Extra Fancy Kona coffee with tasting notes of jasmine, peach, honey, caramel, and toffee. Compared with coffees from other regions, like Ka'u or Maui, our medium - light roast Kona coffee beans have a smooth mouthfeel, and peach, jasmine, and cacao aromas. In contrast, both of our popular Ka'u coffees - Ka'u Morning Glory and Ka'u Wood Valley Single Estate - are brighter, akin to white wine, and our Maui coffee - Maui Mellow has stronger notes of roasted nuts. This Kona coffee is roasted to order with the roast day stamped on the bag. It's perfect for medium - light roast Kona coffee aficionados seeking naturally sweet & juicy coffees.
