Mount Hualalai Estate is the Kona District’s premiere coffee company. The estate is located on the slopes of an active volcano, Mount Hualalai.  Kona Coffees have built a reputation as the world’s highest quality. Using age-old processes dating back centuries and incorporating the latest in state-of-the-art technology that delivers a superior coffee with an unforgettable, mellow flavor. Our superior quality coffees begin with the healthiest Kona Arabica Coffee trees grown in fertile, volcanic soil enhanced with a blend of natural nutrients and minerals. Continuous soil testing is performed to ensure that every generation of coffee grows in a soil mixture with an optimum nutrient composition. Most coffee worldwide is dried in the sun – an unpredictable method that can take from 5 days to 3 weeks, introduce molds and mildews, and have other negative effects on the quality and flavor of the coffee. Increasingly, “better” quality coffees are being dried mechanically – producing a more consistent product but in some cases overcooking or contaminating the beans. A new and very advanced combination drying method to ensure quality and enhance flavor. Kona Premium coffee beans are initially dried in the sun to take advantage of the chemical processes present in this drying technique. The beans are then carefully “finish dried” using low temperature dehydration. This two-part drying method insures perfect consistency and retention of quality.
