Keokeo Gold

Unfortunately, we have sold out of our supply of Keokeo Gold. Thanks to those who ordered for making it such a hit — we hope those you truly enjoy it! We will be sure to let you know if we receive an additional batch.

We've been privileged over the last few years to have roasted and packaged batches of unique coffees grown on small farms in Maui. Generally, most of the roasted coffee goes back to the farm owners for their own consumption.

This year — for the fourth year in a row — we have received a batch of coffee grown on a two-acre farm in the Keokeo region of Maui. The coffee is tended to by the owners and harvested and processed by hand. It is truly a labor of love, one that bears a phenomenal result.

Luckily, this year, we have some Keokeo Gold left after returning the beans to the owners. It's not much, but it's a few pounds that we're able to offer you, our customers. It's part of our commitment to bring you consistently amazing coffees. And trust us, you don't want to miss this one.

As you know, we have tried a lot of coffee. When we roast for a local farm owner, we are able to sample some coffee and get a sense of the individual taste characteristics that each bean variety possesses. And we can honestly say we have not tasted anything that comes close to Keokeo Gold.

Why the name Keokeo Gold? Because this absolutely exquisite coffee — while somewhat pricey — is worth its weight in gold. The exotic bean scored through the roof among all the experts who participated in our taste test. In our stove top espresso and French press preparations, the Keokeo Gold truly shone. Both brought out the bean's full body and nutty aftertaste.

Now, we will admit, this coffee is not necessarily an everyday item. It's probably the equivalent to purchasing a bottle of wine from a great vintage, to be put on the table for a special occasion. So it might not be for everyone.

But we're doing our best to make Keokeo Gold an affordable indulgence: Last year, we sold Keokeo Gold at $88 for an 8 oz. (half-pound) bag. This year, an 8 oz. bag is just $29.95. That's a savings of more than 65%!
