| Waialua Estate, on the North Shore of Oahu, produces 155 acres of Coffee Arabica typica in this rich volcanic soil, and warm sub-tropical climate. Bordered by the steep, dramatic Waianae and Ko’olau mountains and tempered by the rolling Pacific surf, the coffee is as lush as its island surroundings. The trees are grown in hedge rows to facilitate mechanical harvesting. Rainfall is supplemented with regular drip irrigation. The harvest season begins in September and continues through February. |

GREEN BEAN COFFEE
 WASHED COFFEE
A smooth mellow, well balanced cup with a medium body, mild acidity, clean finish, hint of chocolate and a pleasant, lingering aftertaste.
In the wet process the coffee cherries are water sorted and the ripe coffee cherry is pulped, washed and fermented for 16 hours. The beans are sun-dried in a covered drying area and finished in a dryer to an 11% moisture level. As the final step, the beans are hulled, graded and sorted, with a screen size ranging from Peaberry to 18.
NATURAL RAISIN COFFEE
 A complex coffee with a dried fruit fragrance, rich, smooth, full body distinct chocolate character and pleasant aftertaste.
The “dry natural” processed coffee beans are sun dried on the tree where the sugars naturally ferment the coffee bean. This Natural Raisin coffee is separated from the red ripe cherry and further sun dried in the hot house racks before it is hulled and dry milled. The coffee derives a dried fruit fragrance and tannic coloring from longer contact with the cherry skin, lending the cup a deeper, fuller, slightly fruity quality.
