Hawaii's local buzz premium black label coffee is literally the best of the best - the finest beans available from the award-winning ka'u (pronounced kah-ooo) region on the big island of hawaii. Ka'u beans are grown at high elevations on the southern slope of mauna loa, where the young volcanic soil is especially rich. The trees that produce hawaii's local buzz coffee cherry are grown using sustainable agricultural practices that respect and protect the aina (hawaiian for the land), resulting in a smooth and surprisingly low-acid coffee. And unlike most kona coffee, we use a mix of 100% arabica beans (typica, red caturra, and yellow caturra), which gives our coffee an intriguingly sweet and complex flavor. For our extra fancy coffee we select only the largest, most flawless and most flavorful beans from each harvest. Only 15 - 18% of the beans we harvest are large enough, and perfect enough, to qualify as extra fancy grade. The large size and high density of our extra fancy beans produces a full-bodied yet mellow taste that will appeal to the most discerning coffee drinkers.
