The Coffee Shack

Our coffee is known for its flavor and aroma. It is grown on the mountainside directly below our 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 the early Hawaiians knew our orchard's location. 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 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.
