100% Kona Coffee Facts:

Did you know...

...20 million pounds of coffee per year is sold labelled "Kona" coffee?

...But only 2 million pounds of coffee per year are grown in the Kona District ?
So, where does the other coffee come from? (Good Question!)

...that a "Kona Blend" means that as little as 10% of the coffee is true Kona coffee?

...to label "estate grown" means the coffee beans are Extra Fancy, Fancy & #1 grades from the farm on which it's grown?

...so, until you've had 100% Kona Coffee you have never tasted true Kona Coffee.

...Coffee has 800 distinct varieties of tastes for YOUR senses? (Wine has 400)


Customer Feedback:

Just wanted to thank you so much for the Estate Blend Coffee I received with my order. The one lb packages replaced for the 5 lb were fine. It was all for my husband from his children and myself. It was the only thing he had asked for, for Father's Day. He really loves Budda's Cup, and had run out about 4 months ago. Friends had bought him back a bag when they visited Hawaii and got him hooked. Again thank you for the gift, he has enjoyed it for the last 3 mornings.

Hawaii is our favorite family vacation - we've visited 13+ times and can hardly wait to go back! I had tried many Kona coffees, but couldn't figure out the "big deal." Until we drove up to Holualoa this past March and bought a little 2 oz. size to try. It was a WONDERFUL treat!

I've purchased a pound for myself and my mother-in-law for Mother's Day. I'm looking forward to its arrival. It will be like a taste of the island!

Aloha,

I think I did a dance when my parents gave me the Buddha's Cup coffee, which is guarded like a treasure in my house because if not, it would be gone tomorrow! I look forward to visiting the Big Island next year and I hope I get to meet you. Thank you for the kindness and generosity you showed my family!!!

ps. I'm drinking your coffee out of my favorite Buddha cup right now.

I'm far from a full connoisseur of coffee, but your coffee is by far the best I've ever tasted. I will continue to support your business, as a fellow small business owner; it gives me satisfaction supporting your farm.

Best wishes to you, and thanks for your kindness and honesty. It will be rewarded with my continued business; I've just ordered three more pounds.

My girlfriend brought your coffee back to me as a gift and I am hooked! She wants to know if she can get a referral fee (Ha!).

I don't ever order anything over the Internet, but your coffee is the exception. Thank you again.
