nkope Snapshot

nkope melds the best traits of product from all our islands in our custom blend. Our proprietary, double-roasting protocol ensures quality and flavor consistency regardless of growing conditions in any region.

Blending and Roasting

Roasting is an art very similar to what chefs in fine dining accomplish. If the beans are great but they are roasted (cooked) improperly then the quality and flavor is lost.

Our Roots

Our well known climate and soils condition are well suited for coffee growing and make Hawaii unique as the only State in the U.S. with substantial coffee farm operations.

MY SECRET nkope

MY SECRET nkope

The secret to superior coffee is the quality of the beans. nkope sources the finest product from Kona, Kauai, Maui, Molokai and Oahu1 to bring you the magical blend known simply as nkope – the coffee.

To know Hawaii is to love the unique, blended culture2 of its many people. nkope pure Hawaiian coffee brims with the fruit of our lands, with harvests from each island bringing unique traits born of their air, water and soil. nkope combines them in a blend as singular as Hawaii’s rainbow culture, steeped in the mystery that drew the first Polynesians to our shores, the landing of European explorers and the immigration of Chinese, Filipino, Japanese and Okinawan farmers whose descendants make Hawaii their home today.

Every sip of nkope makes Hawaii’s islands, history and culture even more a part of me. I share my love of Hawaii through my love of nkope, a true island treasure.

Aloha,
Irene
