The Coffee Shack Restaurant
Kahauloa Estate Coffee
Our coffee is known for its flavor and aroma. It is grown on the mountainside directly below The Coffee Shack Restaurant’s lanai at the 1,400-foot elevation. The slightly higher altitude makes it smooth in taste with plenty of body. We guarantee its top quality.
Our coffee's name is the name by which our orchard's location was known by the early Hawaiians. They had a unique system of land division here in the islands. This was usually done in vertical pie sections, called Ahupua’a, which ran down from the upper mountain slopes, widening out to the shore. Our Ahupua’a was called Kahauloa for the morning wind that sweeps down into our long valley. Its optimum soil, slope, and climate make it ideal for growing the finest coffee available.
When you stop at The Coffee Shack, please take a moment to view the very trees which bear our famous coffee beans. This is truly a connoisseur's and a photographer's paradise. The Arabica coffee grown here in Kona found its way to Big Island from Oahu in 1828. The Arabica variety has thrived here in our fertile, volcanic soils and has become a world standard for taste. Kona's superlative flavor has established our limited, estate coffees as the gourmet's delight.
Why 100% Kona Coffee
Kona Coffee is renowned worldwide for its exceptional quality and distinct flavor profile, making it one of the most sought-after coffee varieties globally. Here at Coffee Shack Farms, we believe several factors contribute to why Kona Coffee stands out as the best in the world.
First and foremost is our ideal growing conditions. The rich volcanic soil, combined with the perfect elevation and ample sunshine of the Kona region, creates an optimal environment for coffee cultivation. This unique terroir imparts a smooth and well-balanced flavor to our beans, with hints of nuttiness, chocolate, and fruit undertones that tantalize the palate.
Furthermore, the meticulous care and attention to detail that our farmers devote to every step of the cultivation process ensure the highest quality beans. From hand-picking only the ripest cherries to carefully roasting them to perfection, we uphold a tradition of excellence that has been passed down through generations.
Additionally, the small-scale, family-owned farms that dot the Kona landscape prioritize quality over quantity, allowing for a level of craftsmanship and dedication that larger commercial operations simply cannot match. This commitment to artisanal production results in a coffee that is not only delicious but also imbued with the passion and heritage of the local community.
In essence, Kona Coffee's reputation as the best in the world is a testament to the combination of ideal growing conditions, meticulous farming practices, and a rich cultural heritage that sets it apart from any other coffee variety. At Coffee Shack Farms, we are proud to be a part of this legacy and invite you to experience the unparalleled taste and quality of Kona Coffee for yourself. It is what defines Specialty Coffee.
