The Kona and Ka'u regions offer the best coffee Hawaii has to offer. Both have ideal soil and growing conditions for coffee, but they do differ. Ka'u, when roasted to a full city roast, brings out a smooth tasting cup with fruit and milk chocolate flavors and mild acidity. Kona coffee is generally smooth, sweet, well-balanced, and creamy, with notes of chocolate, cocoa butter, nuts, and spices.
We roast our Ka'u to a full city roast. Put simply, a full city roast is characterized by its medium-dark brown color and faint patches of oil, it tends to have greater body and sweetness than a city roast with a more moderate acidity. Give it a try.
