In their words
The story
Single-origin Kona gets used as a marketing claim so often it's almost lost meaning. This farm is more specific about it than most: they don't purchase cherry from neighbouring farms or mix their harvest with anyone else's. One piece of land, along Mamalahoa Highway in Captain Cook, in the middle of the famous Kona Belt, handled start to finish by the same operation. They sell whole-bean and ship direct, which is the right approach — coffee bought close to roast date tends to be a meaningfully better experience than whatever's been sitting on a shelf. Open Monday through Wednesday afternoons if you'd rather stop by in person.
Welcome to the Royal Islander Coffee and KTL Kona Coffee Farm web pages. We’re at the start of another great harvest year growing the best coffee in the world. Our farm is located along Mamalahoa Highway in Captain Cook, in the middle of the famous Kona Coffee Farm Belt. The “belt” is a narrow strip of land 1 mile by 30 miles long and home to about 600 farms. Compared to the large Kona coffee companies, we are a small estate farm, or single origin operation. We do not buy cherry from other farmers, or mix our harvest with cherry from other farms. In this way we can personally insure the quality of our product in every step on its way to the roaster.
