Lush green mountains rise majestically from a deep blue sea. Exotic fruits and flowers thrive under a bright tropical sun. From this paradise of Hawai'i comes a most delicious beverage: world-renowned Kona coffee. At Hawaiian Isles Kona Coffee Company, we make the finest coffees in the islands. We take pride in the exceptional quality of our coffee processing from start to finish, roasting our custom coffees in small batches daily and making sure they're perfect every time. That's why we employ people like Ron Montague, our Roastmaster and Plant Manager. Ron has been in the Kona coffee business for 30 years. His job is to procure and supply for Hawaiian Isles Kona Coffee Company the finest quality coffee available. Ron and the people he supervises follow a strict program of rigorous testing and quality control every step of the way.
Upon receipt, samples are taken of the various raw coffee to be used in our blends. The samples are inspected for color, odor, moisture, content, size and uniformity, then roasted, ground and tasted, to insure the flavor our customers have come to expect. During the blending and roasting process, strict guidelines are followed. From our lightest roast to our darkest, color tests are performed on every roast to guarantee consistency. Grinding and packaging are the final steps of the manufacturing process. The grinds are checked regularly to verify that they remain within our grinding specifications, in order to provide the same consistent brew. Packaging the coffee is completed as soon after grinding is possible. Our state of the art packaging has a one-way gas release valve, allowing us to process the coffee from the grinders directly into packages. This eliminates the degassing stage and helps to preserve the freshness of our finished product by reducing its exposure to oxygen in the surrounding air.
Processing coffee to our high-quality requirements at Hawaiian Isles Kona Coffee Company is hard work. But the close attention we pay makes a difference that people can taste. Our customers love Hawaiian Isles Kona Coffee as much as they love the paradise it comes from. |
