This blend brings together hand-harvested coffees from Kona and Kaʻū, two of the Island of Hawaiʻi's most celebrated growing regions. The medium-dark roast produces a creamy, low-acidity cup built for espresso but versatile enough for filter brewing. Expect butterscotch and dark chocolate anchored by warming spice (nutmeg, clove), dried fruit, date, and a subtle whisky note that adds depth without overwhelming the sweet foundation.
In 2010, Kelleigh Stewart and Brandon von Damitz answered a Craigslist ad that would transform them from coffee novices into Hawaii's most awarded craft roasters, beginning with a three-acre farm in the remote Puna region. Today, their operation showcases the widest variety of 100% Hawaiian coffees worldwide, milled in small batches and roasted-to-order, with quality, community and sustainability at their core. From their new café in Hilo, Big Island Coffee Roasters celebrates the entirety of their island bounty while building community and uplifting the farmers who make it all possible.
