Here, the slopes of the Mauna Loa volcano create a unique microclimate: bright morning sun followed by predictable afternoon cloud cover that mimics the cooling effects of shade-grown conditions. This natural cycle allows the Typica cherries to ripen slowly, developing a concentrated sweetness within the mineral-rich volcanic soil.This lot represents the tireless dedication of producer Richard Bottorff, whose commitment to quality has been recognized with many awards, including a 3rd Place award at the prestigious 2024 Kona Coffee Cultural Festival and a 6th Place award in the 2025 competition. To honor Richard’s work, we have applied a light-touch roast to this naturally sweet coffee. The result is a profile that avoids the heavy roasty flavors of traditional island coffees, instead highlighting the delicate floral aromatics and vibrant tropical flavors that define world-class Hawaiian coffee.Tasting notes: Hibiscus Florals, Blackberry Preserve, Swiss Ganache
