THE FINEST COFFEES OF KA'U
Each year BICR cup dozens of coffees from different farms in Ka'u covering the three primary growing areas within Ka'u: Cloud's Rest, Wood Valley, and Pear Tree. BICR looks for coffees with high levels of caramel-like sweetness, roasted nuts (often pecans or hazelnuts), and the brightness of ripe stone-fruit, like apricot or peach.
BICR blends the best Ka'u coffees they taste to create their signature single origin Ka'u Morning Glory coffee. While their strengths are often different, they compliment each other nicely: bright, long and juicy fruit tones meet with a medium-full body and candied sweet finish.
They aim to source the highest quality Ka'u coffees available selected on the merits of quality year after year. By virtue of being one of Hawaii's few micro-mills they are able to keep their Ka'u coffee in the parchment state until it's ready to roast, meaning their selection remains fresh and retains great character throughout the year.
