Why is Hawaiian coffee priced higher?

Hawaiian coffee, especially the Ka’u and Kona bean, is priced higher due to its unique growing conditions, limited production, and high-quality standards. The higher labor and production costs in Hawaii, combined with the prestige and exclusivity of the coffee, further drive up its price. These factors make Hawaiian coffee a sought-after and premium product in the market.

Notes on our Ka’u:

  • Washed, highest quality on screen #19 (largest bean)
  • Volcanic soil mixed with ideal island climates lend to a more sought after bean
  • Coffee cherries are predominantly handpicked which ensures the finest quality of bean
