Do you ever feel like you need some island time? Our Royal Kona might just be the thing to get you on your way. One of the world’s most famous and sought after coffees is grown on Hawaii’s main island. The soil is mineral rich and volcanic, which leaves you with a rich and smooth coffee with almost a touch of honey as an aftertaste. This unique coffee, grown on a family-owned farm, will also seduce you with notes of sweet caramel, cacao, nuts, and a light floral taste, all while remaining low acid. One smell, one sniff, and you might as well be watching the sun rise on a pristine beach. This is a true gift to coffee lovers, and as of now the only coffee that is truly a product of the United States.

Aloha Farms and Sustainability
Hawaii has a history of its land being taken advantage of by the geopolitics of imperialism. Today, native Hawaiians have done much work to take hold of what was once theirs. Aloha Farms is amongst many agricultural cooperatives doing this important work, citing the Hawaiian word “Aina”, which describes their love and respect for the Hawaiian land as the most important factor in their work to preserve and sustain premium Hawaiian agriculture and their community of workers.
