Maui Moka has been one of my favorite home roasting beans for over a decade. But it required James Falconer to rescue the farm from condo developers set to plow it over several years ago.

I really hope it can survive, despite the economic pressures of development. So I wouldn’t say it’s giving the Big Island “a run for its cup o’ Kona”. It’s just trying to stay relevant and survive.

great article with fantastic photos. more Hawaii coffee growing regions outside of Kona need more press. just like wine, each island/district/place has a considerable amount of variety to offer. having been a fan of Hawaiian coffee for years, i’ve come to appreciate all those subtleties now more than ever as the quality continues to increase. recently i discovered the young couple that runs this operation: http://www.bigislandcoffeeroasters.com
they’re very knowledgeable and put a ton of work into their products. highly recommended, especially if you favor Hawaiian coffees. the Puna and Ka’u stuff is great.
