Story
Mahina Mele translates to “Moonsong Farm” in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, the native language of Hawaiʻi. It is home to Kollette and Jason Stith and their three children, and stands as one of the few organic coffee producers in Kona. The coffee itself offers a naturally sweet profile, layered with notes of macadamia nut, chocolate, and vanilla—capturing the warmth and richness of life on the island.
“We arrived on the Big Island in June 2005, excited to finally see the coffee farm we had purchased without ever visiting it. That first moment on the land was breathtaking. Though we had imagined what it might be like, nothing prepared us for the sight of overgrown coffee trees and a thriving macadamia nut orchard.
Restoring the land quickly became our focus. Committed to organic methods, we relied on solar energy and water catchment systems to bring the farm back to life. Over time, it transformed into a vibrant habitat for birds, chameleons, and diverse plant life. As the land recovered, so did the coffee—producing bright, full cherries nourished by Hawaii’s volcanic soil and tropical climate.”
