產地與海拔：諾拉尼莊園，北可納
在霍盧阿洛阿鎮 (Hōlualoa) 的高處，諾拉尼莊園在大約2,500英尺處種植藝妓咖啡樹——這是可納地區的最高海拔。涼爽、雲霧繚繞的氣候令人聯想到藝妓傳奇的發源地巴拿馬波奎特，但其成果卻 unmistakably 夏威夷：璀璨、熱帶、寧靜。
首批藝妓咖啡樹於2021年種植。此後，諾拉尼莊園便成為夏威夷有史以來最高分咖啡的產地之一——其中包括我們97分的可納藝妓粉紅水洗批次。2025年12月30日的這次採收，是該莊園實力最新的展現。

一杯內斂自信的咖啡——不矯揉造作，一切恰到好處。
工藝與處理：冷發酵、開放式發酵槽
對於2025年12月30日的採收，我們特意偏離了接種或厭氧發酵，轉而借鑒一種正在悄然重塑巴拿馬藝妓頂級產區的技術。
咖啡櫻桃經過去皮後，在低溫下放入開放式發酵槽中，減緩微生物活動，實現溫和而長時間的發酵。隨後是緩慢、延長的乾燥期——這能放大甜度，同時保留藝妓品種聞名於世的細緻花香和柑橘香。沒有添加酵母。沒有密封環境。只有咖啡、氣候和時間。
成果是一杯回報耐心等待的咖啡：乾淨、甜美、精緻——其清澈度讓品種和風土的特色得以無拘無束地展現。
片刻天堂：如何品嚐
最適合以手沖或輕柔浸泡的方式品嚐，以充分展現其層次豐富的香氣和晶瑩剔透的甜味。無論是清晨共享，還是獨自靜享，可納藝妓諾拉尼莊園咖啡都邀請您放慢腳步，細細品味。

What Is 100% Kona Coffee?
100% Kona coffee refers to coffee grown exclusively in the Kona district of Hawai‘i Island — a small, volcanic region
along the western slopes of Hualālai and Mauna Loa. The combination of mineral-rich soil, afternoon cloud cover, and gentle trade winds produces one of the world’s most distinctive coffee terroirs.
To be labeled “100% Kona Coffee,” every bean must be grown within the Kona district and meet strict Hawai‘i grading quality standards. Kona coffee can be made from different arabica varieties, but Kona Typica — a heirloom lineage — remains the region’s most common and traditional cultivar.

About Kona Coffee
-
Kona coffee grows on the volcanic slopes of Hawai‘i Island, where mineral-rich soil, afternoon cloud cover, and slow cherry maturation create a naturally sweet and balanced cup. Our Kona Classic Medium is sourced from high-elevation farms and hand-harvested for clarity, smoothness, and elegant sweetness.
-
Yes — this roast is Authentic Kona coffee made exclusively from North Kona district-grown coffees, never blended. Our Kona coffees comes from small farms at the highest altitudes in the region.
-
Medium roasts highlight Kona’s signature profile: gentle sweetness, soft citrus, toasted almond, and milk chocolate. The result is a balanced, approachable cup ideal for everyday brewing.
-
This coffee shines in pour-over, drip, and French press. Use filtered water just off the boil and a medium grind for maximum clarity and sweetness. If you are looking for a Hawaiian coffee for espresso use we recommend our Hawai‘i Island Blend
-
Kona is the highest labor cost coffee region in the world. Wages for farm workers here are 15-20x higher than almost all other coffee producing countries. Limited and expensive land, hand-picking, and high production costs create a naturally small supply each year — especially from high-elevation farms like those we partner with.

Coffees
-
Our commitment to you is to serve exceptional, fresh-roasted coffees. And part of being exceptional means roasting before the flavors inherent in the green bean begin to fade, which happens over time.
Like apples and pumpkins, coffee is a seasonal agricultural product and each country has a different harvesting cycle in which coffees are at their peak. If we were to insist on serving a single origin all year long, the flavors in that coffee would be noticeably better one half of the year over the other. So the reason you no longer see that coffee you loved is because the optimal season has passed. For more on seasonality in coffees, see this blog post here.
-
Hopefully so. If it was a popular product or we receive customer requests, we will make every attempt to bring it back. However, please note that coffees from a certain producer may not taste the same year after year.
If you loved a coffee and no longer see it listed, shoot us an email and ask us what is similar. We’d be happy to provide a personal recommendation.
-
We aim for balance and completeness along with differentiation and distinction. You shouldn't need to be a professional coffee taster to tell the coffees a part, so, when we’re selecting coffees, we want them to be distinct from each other.
We avoid ”one-trick pony” type coffees, such as Ethiopians with great aroma but no body or acidity, or coffees with good aroma and acidity but lacking sweetness. These elements, which are often reflections of the growing conditions, are harmonized through good roasting.
And, obviously, defects — even subtle defects — influence our selection. Since we live and work at origin, we’re sensitive to coffee defects like “past crop”, pulpy, and naturals that border on over-ferment. With naturals, we’ll only carry these when great examples are available.
-
Our perspective on roasting is similar: we seek balance and distinction. To expect that a coffee is “best” when roasted to some pre-determined degree (i.e. only light roasting or only dark roasting) is analogous to thinking that each person would look best in the same outfit, or each coffee should be grown in the same way. We believe it’s our job to discover the roast degree which best highlights outstanding qualities in each coffee.
