The Rooster's Story Nestled in the hills of Honaunau mauka, over looking the Honaunau Valley and Kealakekua Bay, hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Kailua-Kona, grows a six-acre organic garden, Rooster Farms Coffee Co. Since 1979 The Rooster has produced the finest Organic 100% Kona Coffee. Situated up high (1500-l600ft.) on the rain forest slopes of Mauna Loa, the coffee land overlooks the City of Refuge and the historic South Kona Coast where Captain Cook landed in 1779. By 1828 it's said the first coffee was planted to supply the Hawaiian Alii (royalty). In these perfect growing conditions the coffee culture has flourished for over 150 years. Blessed with a volcanic, loamy soil the beans are enriched naturally as they slowly ripen from September through January. Disease free, vibrantly healthy, the trees are Arabica Tipica. This stock is from the ancient pride of Ethiopia, which was carried by cuttings around the world shortly after Europeans came to the Americas. People in Hawaii know that Kona is famous for it's coffee. What consumers don't often get is the best of 100% Kona coffee: the mauka or higher altitude bean. Available in limited quantities, The Rooster insures the mauka beans quality by hand picking our coffee at the peak of ripeness; beans are then fermented in small batches, hand stirred, washed, and completely sun dried. This is true natural processing. It insures top quality through proper handling in every stage using the traditional Kona methods. The Rooster then has his parchment hulled, graded and certified to meet all state requirements. Only Hawaii's top grades of the large, dense, jade- green beans are roasted for Rooster Farms label. The Rooster then fresh roasts his 100% Kona coffee beans to order, and immediately ships them to you. The Roosters' 100% Kona coffee is fresh, smooth, full-flavored, and very aromatic and has the distinct touch of sweetness characteristic of the mauka bean. The Rooster has always believed in quality first in his organic farming practices. First certified in 1989 Rooster Farms, and all of the farms The Rooster buys 100% Kona Coffee from, are Certified Organic. This provides you with another outside certification as to the authenticity of our Organic 100% Kona Coffee. |
