COFFEE HUNTERS STORY

In Kona, Hawaii, considering that even at the low elevation of 570m, the temperature differences between day and night are very noticeable, coffee cherries ripen leisurely to produce truly rich coffee beans. Within the renowned Greenwell Farms, the plot “Jenni K” is especially blessed with an ideal environment.
After harvesting, Grand Cru Café is normally has to go through a selection process according to the beans’ size, density and color difference, and it is finally hand sorted before transportation. However, due to higher labor costs in Kona, it can only be completed until the selection by density. Nevertheless, in order to qualify as Grand Cru Café, hand sorting is a mandatory requirement. Since there is no skilled personnel available for hand sorting in Kona, Mi Cafeto sends its staff to the farm annually to complete the hand sorting process. It is a masterpiece produced together with Tommy, the owner of the farm, aiming for the best Kona coffee.
