(8 ounces) Crisp, clean and silky. Flavors of juicy, floral-toned citrus are rounded and balanced by notes of sweet pineapple, plum and dried currant.

, situated to the south and east of its more famous neighbor, Kona. Emerging from abandon sugarcane fields, Ka’u is a rising star in the world of coffee. In honor of their efforts to build “flavor before the roast with artisanal processing methods” Rusty’s received the Outstanding Producer Award from the Specialty Coffee Association of Europe in 2010. Rusty and Lorie Obra, a chemist and medical technologist from New Jersey, visited Ka’u in the 1990s and decided to move to there. The couple had no idea they stumbled upon an award-winning coffee region. In 1999, they planted Arabica coffee varietals such as Bourbon, Guatemala Typica, Red Caturra and Yellow Caturra. Because of their science background, the two ran the farm like a laboratory, testing different processing methods, looking for ones that would bring out the best flavors. Rusty died in 2006, leaving his wife at a crossroads. Lorie thought about selling the farm, but she wanted to fulfill Rusty’s dream: to make Ka'u coffee one of the best in the world. She continued to run the farm and even took over Rusty’s role as president of the Ka'u Coffee Growers Cooperative. The result since has been accolades for Rusty’s Hawaiian coffees – and more steps toward realizing Rusty’s dream. Due to limited availability and to maintain freshness, we will be roasting this coffee once a week on Mondays. Order a bag now and we will roast and ship the following Monday.
