THE ESSENCE

Mark Twain once wrote, “I think the Kona coffee has a richer flavour than any other.” This rare coffee, sourced exclusively from the Kona Coffee Belt in Hawaii, comes directly from the legendary four-time Kona Cupping Competition Champion estate, Hawaii Queen Coffee. Each bean is origin-certified and meticulously graded to capture Kona Typica's unique flavour profile. Celebrated for its exceptional quality, this coffee won Grand Gold in the 2024 Monde Selection awards, solidifying its status as one of the finest offerings available to coffee enthusiasts worldwide.

THE TASTE EXPERIENCE

THE TASTE EXPERIENCE

A bright cup of coffee with candied apple sweetness and a zesty acidity. Taste of dark chocolate, cereal, apple and mango. Breakfast in a cup.

For me Kona coffee is the perfect last course of my menu. It's unbelievable balanced flavours will stay in the minds of our guests for days.

THE TERROIR

On the volcanic slopes of Hawaii's Big Island, Hawaiian Queen Coffee thrives in the renowned Kona Coffee Belt. This area is named for its location in the Kona District, where the combination of specific geographic and climatic conditions has historically been perfect for growing coffee. This narrow strip of land, blessed with ideal altitude and a favourable microclimate, provides the perfect conditions for cultivating superior coffee. The rich, volcanic soil imparts unique mineral characteristics to the beans, while the balance of sun and rain creates an environment where Kona Typica flourishes. The result is a terroir that produces coffee with complexity and depth of flavour.

Hawaiian Queen Coffee stands out not only for its exceptional specialty coffee but also as a proud 100% non-profit estate deeply committed to community development. The estate fuels educational and social initiatives across Hawaii, directly reinvesting in local prosperity. Embracing sustainable practices like traditional hand-picking and water conservation, Hawaiian Queen Coffee ensures environmental stewardship while preserving native flora and fauna, supporting both the local ecosystem and educational growth.
