It is no wonder the coffee that comes from here is such high quality! At Koa coffee, the coffee beans are all picked by hand only when the beans are cherry red (ripe) and then processed. They are then roasted with the utmost attention to produce a unique coffee that has a delicate, yet rich flavor and aroma. Koa coffee also cups every roast to ensure the taste is perfect.
