"The ride through the district of Kona to Kealakekua Bay took us through the famous coffee section. I think Kona has a richer flavor than any other..."

What
makes our Kona Coffee so special?
| Like
a fine vintage Estate wine, 100% Kona Coffee from an Estate is distinguished
from generic Kona blends by the tremendous extra care taken throughout
every step of the process.
Dragon's Lair Estate coffee comes only from our own 2000 heirloom Kona Typica trees grown on the side of Mauna Loa volcano. We carefuly tend our trees; hand pruning and hand weeding. We fertilize with a mixture of natural mulch from the trees themselves, and with supplements of commercial organic fertilizers. Our coffee cherry is hand-picked at the peak of ripeness, with each tree being visited several times during the harvest season to pick only the red-ripe berries. We process the fruit on the day of picking, and spread it on our drying platform for complete sun-drying. Unlike many Estates, who have their dry milling and roasting done by commercial processors, we have set up our own milling and roasting so that we can control every step of the process ourselves for maximum quality. We mill in small batches, and custom-roast to order so your coffee is on its way to you within hours of roasting. Our coffee beans never leave our farm til they wing their way to your cup. You cannot find Dragon's Lair Estate Kona Coffee in stores - we sell direct to you so that we can guarantee every bean! The end result is a coffee that carries the unique stamp of a 100% Kona Estate coffee - delicate yet flavorful and with a rich aroma - a product relished among coffee drinking societies throughout the world. |
