Product Description
Estate-grown. Washed processed. Dark roasted for a rich, smooth Kona cup with deep chocolate, caramel, and roasted-nut character.
Aloha Star 100% Kona Coffee — Washed Process Dark Roast is grown, processed, small-batch roasted, and shipped directly from our family farm in South Kona, Hawaiʻi.
Our ripe coffee cherries are hand-picked, pulped, fermented, rinsed, and carefully dried in parchment. This traditional washed process creates a clean foundation before the coffee is developed into a deeper dark-roast profile.
The darker roast brings forward a fuller body and pronounced notes of dark chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, and roasted nuts while reducing the brighter fruit character found in our lighter roasts. The result is a rich and satisfying cup with a smooth finish and clearly defined roast character.
Flavor Profile
Dark chocolate · Walnut · Raisin · Brown sugar · Chestnut · Caramel · Almond
These tasting notes occur naturally in the coffee. No flavors, syrups, or additives are used.
Choose This Coffee If You Prefer
A rich and full-bodied dark roast
Deep chocolate, caramel, and roasted-nut character
Less perceived brightness than a medium or Full City roast
A smooth dark coffee with a clean washed-process foundation
Coffee that stands up well to milk
A bold cup for espresso, French press, moka pot, or drip brewing
Recommended Brewing Methods
This Dark Roast is especially well suited for:
Espresso
Moka pot
French press
Drip coffee
AeroPress
Americano
Cold brew
Iced coffee
Espresso and moka pot emphasize its dark-chocolate, caramel, and roasted-nut character. French press creates a rich, full-bodied cup, while drip brewing produces a smoother everyday dark roast.
Its deeper profile also works especially well in lattes, cappuccinos, cortados, flat whites, and other milk-based drinks.
For the freshest flavor, choose whole bean and grind immediately before brewing.

Estate-grown, award-winning Kona coffee. Honey processed. Medium roasted for a smooth, naturally sweet Kona cup.
Aloha Star Private Reserve 100% Kona Coffee Honey Process Medium Roast is a farm-direct, estate-grown specialty coffee from our family farm in Kona, Hawaiʻi. Crafted from our Private Reserve lot, this coffee is ideal for those who enjoy a fruit-forward Kona cup with natural sweetness, silky body, and full seed-to-cup traceability.
Our Honey Process coffee is pulped, then sun-dried with its natural mucilage still surrounding the bean. This careful drying method helps develop sweetness, fruit complexity, and body before the coffee is roasted to a balanced medium profile that preserves its expressive Kona character.
In the cup, expect layered notes of dried cherry, caramel, brown sugar, green grape, dried apple, fruit punch, and a subtle hint of anise. The result is a smooth, elegant cup with bright fruit character, caramel-like sweetness, silky body, and a clean finish.
Best For / Brewing Methods
This coffee is best enjoyed as pour-over, drip coffee, AeroPress, iced coffee, cold brew, or Americano, where its fruit complexity, natural sweetness, and smooth Kona character can shine.

FAQs:
-
Yes. Aloha Star sells estate-grown 100% Kona coffee grown and processed exclusively on our family farm in South Kona, Hawaiʻi, within the Kona Coffee District. It is not mixed with coffee from other origins.
-
A 100% Kona coffee contains only coffee grown in the Kona Coffee District. A Kona blend may contain a much smaller percentage of Kona coffee combined with coffee grown elsewhere. Aloha Star sells estate-grown 100% Kona coffee—not Kona blends.
-
Every coffee we sell is grown on our family farm in South Kona. We oversee the process from hand-picking and processing through small-batch roasting and farm-direct shipping.
-
These terms describe how the coffee fruit is handled after the cherries are picked, and each method can influence the coffee’s sweetness, body, and flavor.
Washed Process: The fruit is removed from the coffee bean before drying. This method often produces a clean, balanced cup with clear acidity and a classic Kona coffee character.
Honey Process: The outer skin is removed, but some of the fruit’s sticky natural layer, called mucilage, remains on the bean while it dries. This can develop more natural sweetness, a silky body, and greater fruit complexity.
Natural Process: The whole coffee cherry is dried with the bean still inside the fruit. This longer contact with the fruit can create a fuller body and more pronounced fruit-forward flavors.
All three methods begin with ripe, carefully selected coffee cherries, but they create different expressions of the same farm and origin.

Our 100% Kona coffee is artisan-roasted in small batches and shipped directly from our family farm in Kona, Hawaiʻi to ensure exceptional freshness. We offer a variety of shipping options, with available methods and estimated delivery times displayed during checkout.
