Description

This Willoughby's Serious Select coffee be roasted and shipped on Tuesday, April 19 and 26 subject to availability.

Arrived April 2022, shipped directly from the farm in grainpro bags. Purple Mountain is a member of the Kona Coffee Council. This coffee was prepared especially for us by Purple Mountain; after harvest coffee remains in its parchment husk to preserve moisture and flavor, then milled just before shipping. We were only able to secure a tiny amount, possibly less than our orders for two weeks.

Kona Purple Mountain Estate Selection is a small, eight acre family farm. This farm goes out of their way to do things the right way, which means they keep to traditional farming and processing techniques. The varietal, Kona Typica, are sun ripened and hand picked only when ready. Wet processing is all done on the farm and the parchment coffee is completely sun dried on wooden platforms. This is a nicely prepared coffee lot with deep green, large screen sized beans.

Production is ordinarily very limited as it is a family run business owned by Donna Stiles. I had the pleasure of visiting Donna in 2015 (the baby in the photo above is now a 7 year old). Her property is woodsy and coffee trees are planted among other growths under significant shade. This is 100% pure, authentic Kona coffee from a single farm.
