This Kona Geisha is a washed, light-roast coffee sourced from Noelani Farm on Hawaii's Kona Coast, grown at high altitude. The Geisha variety is blended with notes of floral and citrus perfumey aromas, tropical fruit, lemon, green tea, and jasmine on the palate. The coffee is roasted fresh in Hawaii and offered in small-batch lots, emphasizing clarity, balance, and a clean, silky finish.
Founded in 2002 by R. Miguel Meza in Minnesota, Paradise Coffee Roasters relocated to Hilo, Hawaii in 2008 to work directly with local farmers and root the business in origin.
