Sourcing Details:

Coffee growing in your backyard is an unlikely scene in North America unless you happen to be in Hawaii where the celebrated Kona coffee is cultivated, harvested, and processed for the short journey to the mainland.  This particular lot comes from the Cancino Family Farm, a 350 acre farm in the Kona region.

Processing Details

During the harvest, cherries are picked with a focus on optimum ripeness.  The wet-mill is located on the estate where the cherries are sorted, depulped, fermented, and washed.  The mill uses sun drying and temperature controlled mechanical driers.  Dried parchment is stored in grainpro bags until export preparation begins.  The Cancino family also operates their own dry-mill to prepare coffee for export. The fully integrated process maintains the same detailed approach from harvest to export ensuring every lot has a consistent quality.
