They say money doesn't grow on trees, but kona coffee certainly does and what makes true kona coffee so unique is where these tree are growen. These trees thrive on the cool slopes of Haulalai and Mauna Loa Mountains, which contains a rich volcanic soil. While most trees will fruit abundantly in full sun, this particular coffee tree thrives with afternoon cloud cover.

It is best to purchase whole coffee beans and store them in air tight containers in the freezer to optimize freshness. The recommended shelf life is two months.
