CERTIFIED PRIME KONA ESTATE FARM COFFEE

Kona coffee has attained the title of one of the most expensive and desired coffees in the world because of the ideal growing conditions and the high standards of care that result in outstanding flavor. 

At K.T.L Farms, we observe the time honored guide for hand-picking only the red cherries for processing and this standard insures that our coffee is superior to any other coffee in the world.  Our coffee is certified and graded by the Hawaii Department of Agriculture for origin and quality and our coffee is certified at Prime grade, the highest grade below Peaberry. 

Our coffee is roasted to order and is shipped in airtight bags with a gas release valve to insure optimum freshness. For the convenience of our customers living in the mainland we ship the coffee to our business at Temple Bar Tiki Bar & Grill located in Berkeley, California, 94710.

 ABOUT US

 KTL Farm is named after Kem Alani Tung Loong whose father, Edward was born and raised on the farm in Ho'okena, Captain Cook, Kona, Hawaii.  Our coffee is grown on 11 acres in the heart of the Kona coffee belt in the rich volcanic soil and cool steep slopes of Mauna Kea.  We are a part of the coffee growing kama'aina families who have owned our land and grown our coffee in the area for generations. 

 OUR PROCESS

 The coffee harvest season begins in August or September and continues through December with each tree providing twenty to thirty pounds of cherry fruit.  Unlike many processing plants that commercially mass-produce coffee, Kona coffee trees cannot be mechanically harvested, which means each tree must be hand-picked.  Then with experience and dedication to quality, we maintain the time honored standard for picking each coffee bean by hand at red cherry perfection. We pulp the coffee cherry within 1-2 days to ensure the cherry does not over ripen and the resulting green bean is then dried naturally under the Kona sun for several days.
