Shop for Roasted Coffee: Ka‘u Classics

For us, the Classic Medium Roast is the quintessential Ka‘u coffee: bright, yet balanced and elegant, with notes of lime and brown-sugar sweetness. We’re not the only ones who like it. This coffee scored 92 points in Coffee Review, tying for the top score in a cupping of Hawaiian and Caribbean coffees in March 2010.

Distinguished by their rounded shape, peaberries account for only 5% of our harvest. They are the rarest of our classic Ka‘u coffees.

Consider these beans a riff on the quintessential Ka‘u coffee. Like our Classic Medium and Classic Dark roasts, these peaberries are of the Typica variety, grown in the rich soil and cool climate of the Mauna Loa volcano’s southern slope.

It was time for Pete Licata to do something outlandish. After five years of entering regional and national barista competitions, he’d never taken home the top prize.

This coffee epitomizes our craftsmanship. From harvest through roast, we coddle these beans -- and they treat us very well in return.

Our Natural Red Caturra shows off how much variety there is in, well, coffee varieties.

Take the differences between our Natural Red Caturra and Natural Yellow Caturra. Botanically speaking, they’re closely related, but have different flavor profiles.
