Kai Coffee Hawaii® is a locally-owned and operated Family Business.
Owners, Sam & Natalie Suiter, have over 25 years of industry experience.
Our Goal is to source, roast, and provide the finest coffee available for you! The metrics that help us get there are a combination of rich volcanic soil, a warm climate year round and abundant rainfall that adds up to an ideal environment. Hawaii has its own unique microclimate where sloping hills meet the Kai--ocean or sea. This is an integral part in the Male'ana or marriage that takes place in creating the perfect amount of rainfall and natural shade for our coffee to grow. Hawaii is the only location in the United States where coffee grows. From there the coffee beans are hand picked, processed and artisan roasted for you, our Ohana–family–to enjoy.
