Palila is a medium-dark roast blend combining direct-trade Red Bourbon from Guatemala with coffees from South America. Processed as both washed and natural, it offers a plush, satiny body and balanced sweetness with hazelnut, dark chocolate, goji berry, candied violet, and oak flavor notes, suited to espresso or drip.
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.
