Kauai Coffee

Kauai Coffee got its start in the early 1800s as McBryde Sugar Company, one of the first sugar growers in Hawaii. The transformation from McBryde Sugar Company to Kauai Coffee in 1987 represents Hawaii's largest diversified agricultural project in the past 50 years.

The Kauai Coffee venture experienced a severe setback in 1992, when Hurricane Iniki inflicted $8.5 million in damages to the coffee crop. The future of Kauai Coffee, and all of Kauai, looked bleak. Fortunately, both made a comeback, and in 1996, Kauai Coffee's harvest exceeded the volume of coffee produced by the entire Kona region.

Mountain Thunder Coffee Plantation (Kainaliu)

Mountain Thunder has been in business for over ten years, so relatively speaking we are new, but we have grown over the years to become one of the major players in the world of Kona Coffee. And yes, Mountain Thunder is one of the most prestigious Kona Coffee companies around. We opt to be certified by several different entities looking at the way we process our coffee organically, where and who we buy our coffee from--is it really Kona Coffee? The agencies that are continuously looking at us are the State of Hawaii Department of Agriculture for Kona Coffee authenticity and quality, GOCA an accredited certifier by the United States Department of Agriculture for compliance with organic growing and processing standards, KOFK Kosher Certification and Visa PCI compliance certification company Control Scan who looks at the security of our online transactions.

Mountain Thunder has watched companies come and go over the past ten years. We have developed a sort of originality in the Kona Coffee business, taking the high road. And you will see for yourself that we do things a little different--for the better of you, our customer.

All we do is sell 100% Pure Kona Coffee. And we are a family owned and operated business, which throughout history continues to be the organizational unit that consistently produces only the best quality. All the major coffee companies were originally family owned businesses, and they produced some pretty good coffee in their time--before the accountants got involved, and the shareholders demanded increases in profit, one after another. Of course, we only go in the direction of premium Kona Coffee, not in the direction of corporate politics. We're different, and you can taste the difference.

The Roasterie Factory

On Nov. 22, 1978, Danny O?Neill picked his first batch of coffee beans in the mountainous, coffee-growing region around the Poás volcano while studying abroad in Costa Rica. Right then and there, he fell in love with the country, the people and the coffee?especially the coffee. Fifteen years later, when Danny founded The Roasterie in his basement in one of Kansas City's great neighborhoods, Brookside, it just made sense that he would partner directly with farmers and pay above market values to get the best of the best coffee beans.

Today, direct trade makes more sense than ever. The Roasterie still believes in partnering with farmers at origin, in mutually beneficial direct trade relationships ? removing the middle man from the equation. By doing this, our farmers get much higher prices for their coffees than they would with other conventional and non-conventional trade systems.

One of the most renowned specialty coffee roasters in the nation, nobody else does it like we do. We are committed to finding the best coffees from around the world, for a fair price. Those beans are then roasted using a convection air-roasting method, instead of the more traditional drum-roasting method, to ensure superior consistency and a tastier, smoother cup of coffee.

Quality, freshness, education. That's what The Roasterie is about. Try any of our coffees and you'll be able to taste and smell the difference our commitment makes.
