Origin: Ka'u District, Big Island Process: Natural Roast: medium NATURAL HAWAIIAN KA'U COFFEE Natural processed coffees are harvested and then dried fully intact as a whole fruit. What results is a deeply fruited, full - bodied, exotic coffee experience that often has a fuller body than its counterparts. We recommend this natural process as an espresso with steamed milk or french press. With the addition of a little steamed milk, it's strawberry and chocolate milk for days! Specialty - grade natural coffees are uncommon in Hawaii because they demand long term care and attention to detail. If the weather is cool or the coffee cherry takes too long to dry, the fruit sugars might ferment and taint the coffee; yet if it's dried too quickly, the brewed coffee may taste woody and the green coffee has a reduced shelf life. In dry countries like Africa, natural processed coffees are more common and less risky. But in Hawaii's moist climate they're costly, risky, and difficult to produce. Hence the relative rarity. Meet the farmer who produced this beautiful natural Hawaiian Ka'u coffee: Miles. Like many of us, Miles was called to coffee. His poetic love for what coffee represents goes back to his childhood and may be stronger than the awards his coffees bring. . . "Coffee is a part of who I am. It runs through my veins. I was born into a marginal farming family but always dreamt of a brighter future. The future was inspired by my father's small coffee and cardamom estate in the Western Ghats of India, where every morning as a child I awoke to the aroma of coffee. . . Farming as a career was discouraged as there was just no money to be made in farming. When I retired, I knew it was time to go back to my first passion - coffee brings my heart home.
