Experience the Kauai Coffee® Difference
Hawaiian coffee is recognized by coffee lovers for excellent quality and superb flavor. However, while coffee from Kona is a well-known specialty coffee, it’s not actually a variety of coffee but a growing region. In your travels further up the island chain, you’ll find a notable growing region on the Garden Isle of Kauai.

A Cup Above the Rest
Triple Certification
100% Kauai Coffees have earned the unique distinction of the three top advocates for sustainability and environmentally friendly practices from seed to cup.
Verified Estate Grown
Ensures the coffee grown at our Kalaheo Estate has remained on premise at our orchard under our care. Many Hawaiian growers utilize offsite processing and roasting. Further, our beans remain on our estate during the entire process from cultivation, harvesting, milling to roasting.
Verified Single-Origin Coffees
These coffees are traceable to a single geographical location and are not blended with other coffees. At Kauai Coffee, we are serious about traceability, and we can trace your bag of coffee back to the exact growing location on our farm. The uniqueness of a coffee’s taste and aroma derives from the growing origins soil, humidity, elevation, sun/shade ratios, and care tendered to the orchard. Single-origin coffees reflect these unique flavors of their region’s climate in their attributes.
Quality Control
Q Graders are the equivalent of a wine sommelier to the coffee industry. There are just over 500 Q Graders in the U.S., and Kauai Coffee’s two Q Graders meticulously manage the processes of removing defects that affect quality and cupping (professionally tasting), for flavor and aroma. Our Q Graders are experienced, passionate and cup our coffees at three different stages to ensure perfection.

Traceability also offers assurance the coffee was produced ethically and sustainably.Click hereto learn more about our nine step process we use to trace each 100% Kauai Coffee bag from when and where it was grown on our 3,000-acre coffee estate.

At Kauai Coffee Company, we nurture each of these processes to ensure the highest quality and most pleasing coffee experience available from seed to cup.
