• Employing solely hand-harvesting, we select only the perfectly ripe cherry, never tainting our coffee with under or over-ripe beans.
• Further, we take care to wet-process, ferment and sun-dry our coffee on the deck at our domain, accentuating its natural depth & complexity.
• Our sun-dried beans are then stored at our Domain in their natural hulls (parchment) in order to protect their aroma & flavor. Not until just prior to roasting will they be milled (to remove the hull) and graded according to size and quality with only the highest grades, Fancy and Extra Fancy being roasted and sold as Domain Kona.
• Our beans are then custom roasted, to our specifications in small batches for optimum expression of their natural flavor & complexity

Kona Hawaii has long been recognized as one of the world's finest coffee growing regions. Coffee was planted on the Big Island in 1828 in the area of Kealakekua, very near our farm. Kona's climate and soil turned out to be perfect for growing coffee. The sheltered and fertile western slopes of Mauna Loa and Mt. Hualalai, along with sunny mornings and gentle afternoon rains encouraged the coffee plant to thrive in its new environment. In July of 1866 Mark Twain stated, in his Letters from Hawaii : “Kona coffee has a richer flavor than any other, be it grown where it may and call it by what name you please."

Domain Kona is the new name for a 100-year-old coffee farm ideally situated in the center of the famous Kona Coffee Belt on the Big Island of Hawaii in Captain Cook. Planted entirely with Kona Typica trees, our orchard is the model of long-standing, care & devotion to premium coffee farming.
