Product Description
Natural production cycle
The natural process is the original manner in which coffee was processed. The cherries are dried with the beans inside, like drying a grape into a raisin. The beans are dried with all of their layers intact, including the coffee cherry and mucilage. Naturally processed coffees typically have heavier mouthfeel, lower acidity levels and intense, exotic flavor profiles.
State of art equipment
Drying is an extremely delicate process that must be attended to constantly. The beans must be rotated, usually by raking, to ensure that they dry evenly to avoid fermentation and rot. During the drying stage the remaining mucilage dries into the core of the bean changing the final flavor profile.
Hydro-Energy Plant
In recent years, the crew of Ka’ū Coffee Mill renovated several USGS ash bed tunnels in the area. Carved through solid rock and layers of volcanic ash, these tunnels meander underground for lengths of 2,000 feet and more.
Descending from elevations as high as 3,500 feet and including a 13-million gallon black-sand and native-stone reservoir, Keaīwa, this system is now being restored to provide water to the farm lands and farmers of Ka’ū, serve the Mill, and double as a hydroelectric resource.
Long term vision
Once the system is fully operational, Ka’ū Coffee Mill may be the first coffee mill in the Nation to be fully green-powered. Any extra energy to be generated through the hydroelectric plant will be sold to the island’s utility grid.
Our mission is to make Hawai’i a better place to live by developing a self-sustaining community that can thrive into the future.
