Grown in the volcanic soils of South Kona on Hawaii’s Big Island by the Shriner family’s Lions Gate Farm — a multi-generation family business whose coffee farming dates back over a century. Creamy and smooth with delicate acidity and exceptional aroma.
Why real Kona is a delicacy: authentic Kona is scarce outside Hawaii. Because it’s grown in the United States, farming and labor costs are far higher than any other origin — Lions Gate pays its pickers $20+ an hour. The average Kona farm is just 3 acres, so each tree gets real attention. And “Extra Fancy” is the official USDA grade for the most premium Kona beans.
