Koa Coffee

Koa Coffee began as a small family business on Hawaiʻi Island in 1997 and grows its reputation on 100% Kona coffee. Its coffees have won the Gevalia Kona Coffee Cupping Competition and PCCA Coffee of the Year, and Forbes named it the Best Coffee in America in its 50 of America’s Best list. Koa says its cherries are picked by hand only when fully red, and the team cups every roast before it ships. Kona coffee grows in one small district on the volcanic slopes of Hualālai and Mauna Loa and makes up less than 1% of the world’s coffee, which explains the price.
