KONA EXTRA FANCY
​from Lions Gate Estate

Every year, depending on the crop, we move heaven and earth to have Kona Extra Fancy from Lions Gate Estate.

​It's the best of Hawaiian coffees, from one of the few ecologically perfect coffee-growing areas in the world.

The coffee is hand-picked and sun-dried right on the slopes of Mauno Loa volcano, on a 10-acre farm of heirloom coffee trees - all the coffee trees are 60-100 years old.

​The older the coffee trees, more body and depth there is to the coffee.

In the cup, Kona Extra Fancy is full, rich, and delicious with the trademark macadamia nut flavour notes.

In the aroma you'll pick up cherries and honey, and you'll find the body smooth and full.

Kona Extra Fancy had that subtle hint of crisp acidity that brightens and contributes to the overall balance of the cup.

Available only in 1/2 pound and 1 pound sizes.

Panama La Esmeralda Geisha

Back in 2016, we were lucky enough to purchase one of the most prized coffees in the world, Panama La Esmeralda Geisha.

Ever since then, we've made it "mission critical" to get one small part of this unique and very limited crop.

​Our Panama Geisha has developed a cult following at Cupper's, and no surprise there! 

​We had a special bag printed just for this coffee - it warrants that extra special treatment. 

The Geisha varietal is rare, exclusive and much sought after.

​It was first "discovered" in the mountains of Ethiopia, close to the town of Geisha, and is now grown in the high altitudes of Panama. 

This coffee is extremely aromatic, and you'll pick up subtle fragrances of citrus blossom, jasmine and sweet honey.

The flavours are complex and layered, and the cup finishes with an amazing bergamot-like flavour - similar to an earl grey tea.

Extraordinary in every way.
​
Available only in 3/4 pound size.

JAMAICA BLUE MOUNTAIN
The Coffee of Kings

Grown in high-altitude volcanic loam, our Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is graded as the top 1% of one of the most prized coffees in the world. 

The coffee thrives on one of the oldest coffee-growing estates (Clydesdale Estates) in Jamaica, shade-grown and intercropped with banana and mango trees. ​

The ripened cherries are hand-picked, fully washed, and sun-dried in the cool mountain air to preserve flavour quality.

​All of these factors combine to deliver exceptional sweetness and aroma.

There are layers of flavours, soooo many layers.

Sip it slowly and roll it around in your mouth, and let the flavours reveal themselves, one after another.

These are only some of the reasons coffee connoisseurs call this the "champagne of coffee."
​
Available only in 3/4 pound size.
