We sell only estate beans which are beans that come from one farm. Many Kona coffee sellers buy from hundreds of other farms and the coffee is often picked by pickers who are trying to hit a target weight for the day. Thus, the quality of the coffee is compromised since each farm has a different taste, acidity, and method of irrigation--all of which affects the coffee. Our reviews say: "Excellence all the way around! I could not be happier! The coffee is to die for!""Simply amazing coffee. Taste and aroma are unreal. A+++" "As always, best Kona Coffee on the net, buy with confidence." "THE VERY BEST KONA COFFEE, and even better emails and delivery!!" "This coffee is GREAT.

Better by far than any Kona on the shelf in Hawaiʻi" "Practically overnight delivery, super smooth taste, highly recommended, thanks!!" "WOW! Words can not describe how delicious the Yamasawa's coffee is. Mahalo!" Terry Richard, a travel writer, wrote of us: "I began my tour at Wilfred Yamasawa Farms, where the morning air of Holualoa was welcome with its coolness. One of Hawaii's most accomplished glass blowers, Yamasawa also maintains a century-old family tradition of hand-raising coffee. Kona coffee comes from premium arabica beans, rather than the more common robusta beans. Because of the rugged growing surface, Kona beans must be picked by hand, not by machines, causing the largest growers to import workers from Mexico and Central America for the harvest. With a human doing the picking, the only beans picked are the ones with the red color that indicates their ripeness. After the beans are soaked and the skin is removed, they are left to dry in the sun, not in the commercial dryers that are widely used where coffee is mass produced. At virtually every step along the way, a Kona bean gets more attention from a human than mass-market coffees. On his 2 3/4 acres, Yamasawa can control [everything] that each of his 1,500 trees gets. His preference is the least possible of each. "The best beans come from trees that feel a little stressed," he said. "When the beans begin to turn red, there are not enough hours in the day. There's no time to sleep." Thank you for considering us. We appreciate your business. Place a Bid!
