Our Story is Steeped in Sunshine and Volcanic Soil
It All Started with the Perfect Cup
Our family’s journey began in the mid-90s, born from a simple love for sharing rich, flavorful Kona coffee. We knew there was something magical about the coffee grown right here on the slopes of Hualālai and Mauna Loa—a smoothness and natural sweetness that we wanted everyone to experience.
What started as sharing bags with friends and neighbors grew into a lifelong commitment. We founded Morning Kona not just to sell coffee, but to share a feeling—the warmth, connection, and pure joy that comes from a truly exceptional cup.

Blessed by Nature, Nurtured by Hand
Kona coffee is a gift from the aina. It can only be grown in a tiny, precious strip of land where rich volcanic soil, high elevation, misty mornings, and sunny afternoons create the perfect conditions. We don't try to outsmart nature; we work in harmony with it.

While our roots are firmly planted in our family farm, our dream continues to grow. We hope to one day open a local café right here in Kona, creating a welcoming space that reflects our family’s story and builds a community far beyond our online store. Every bag you buy helps us get one step closer to that dream.
