High on the volcanic slopes of Mauna Loa, where ancient Hawaiian legends speak of the industrious Menehune working under moonlight, our story begins. We’re not just named after these the mythical craftsmen – we embody their spirit of dedication, quality, and tireless work. As a veteran-owned business, we brought the same discipline and attention to detail from military service to coffee farming. Every morning at dawn, we tend to our coffee trees with the precision of a mission and the heart of aloha. The Only True Farm-to-Cup Experience. Unlike many coffee companies that source from multiple farms, we ARE the farm. When you order Menehune Coffee, you’re getting beans that were handpicked on our slopes, processed in our mill within hours of harvest, and roasted in small batches just for you. We control every step because your perfect cup depends on on it.
