Our honey-processed Kaʻū Morning Glory is our bright and sweet signature Kaʻū coffee. It’s notable for long and juicy fruit tones, a medium-full body, and a sweet candied nut finish.
Despite the reference to honey, no apiary products were used in the making of this beautiful coffee. Like “natural” or “washed,” “honey” is a coffee processing method; the important step of separating the outer layer of a coffee cherry from the inner seed or “bean.” When the skin is removed, sticky, sweet mucilage is exposed and its golden amber color is reminiscent of honey. Hence we call it honey-processed coffee.
Delightful for espresso or pour-over, our yellow honeyed Kaʻū coffees are rich yet mellow, never bitter or acidic. The flavor notes are often similar to real honey: floral, sweet, buttery, and smooth with an ever-so-slight hint of fruit and blossoms. Often you'll catch the aroma of vanilla, nougat, or honey, regardless of the roast level.
Kaʻū Morning Glory and Kaʻū Darkwood, are like hidden gems - they tend to have brighter flavors than traditional Kona coffees, cost less, are loved by locals, and are relatively unknown to the wider public.
