A Rare Expression of Kona Coffee Kona coffee is traditionally known for balance, elegance, and refined sweetness. When grown at high elevation and paired with the Geisha variety, Kona’s volcanic terroir reveals a new level of aromatic intensity and structure. Noelani Coffee Farm sits on the upper slopes of Hualālai in Holualoa, one of the highest elevations in Kona. Cool afternoon cloud cover, volcanic soils, and steady Pacific trade winds create ideal conditions for slow cherry maturation, allowing complex aromatics to fully develop. The result is a Kona coffee with exceptional clarity, vibrant acidity, and remarkable aromatic lift. Brewing Recommendations This coffee shines when brewed with methods that highlight clarity and aromatics: Pour-over (V60, Origami, Kalita)Flat-bottom brewers for balanced extraction For the most expressive experience, serve in a tulip-shaped or wine glass to emphasize the coffee’s floral aromatics and delicate structure. Farm Background Noelani Coffee Farm is a high-elevation Kona farm located in Holualoa on the upper slopes of Hualālai. The farms coffee planting span approximately seven acres, with coffee planted between 2,400 and 2,500 feet — among the highest elevations in Kona’s coffee-growing region. (The majority of Kona coffee is grown between (1200-1800ft) At these elevations, cooler afternoon temperatures, persistent cloud cover, and volcanic mineral soils slow the ripening of the coffee cherries. This extended maturation period allows sugars and aromatic compounds to develop more fully, producing coffees with exceptional clarity, structure, and complexity. We have worked closely with Noelani Coffee Farm for several years and purchase the farm’s entire harvest each season, allowing us to collaborate directly on cultivation and processing decisions. In 2021, at our request, the farm expanded plantings to include both Geisha and Kaffa varieties, selecting high-elevation parcels best suited to these more delicate and expressive genetics. These plantings are now beginning to reach maturity, producing limited micro-lots that highlight the unique potential of Kona’s highest elevations. The result is a coffee that combines Kona’s refined sweetness with the vibrant aromatics more commonly associated with elite Geisha-producing regions. Noelani’s coffees have already earned significant recognition, including a 95-point Coffee Review score for their K7 lot, and 96 Points for the Kaffa Variety. Our limited Kona Geisha releases from this farm have consistently earned 95–96 points on Coffee Review, among the highest scores awarded to Kona coffees.
