Our Coffee

Crafting the perfect cup.

December 1st, 2019, Captain Kona has acquired Langenstein Farms, to
continue the tradition of growing, processing, roasting and selling our Gourmet
Kona Coffee to coffee fans all over the world! www.captainkona.com

At Langenstein Farms, we believe in the best coffee. We produce only 100% Kona Coffee, no blends. Every bean has been hand-picked, dried in the sun, then air-roasted and hand-packed to perfection.

Our Unique Process
From Hand Picking

Coffee ripens in “rounds” which means we have to pick only the red, ripe beans and leave behind the green beans not mature yet, to be picked later. This has to be done without breaking branches, ripping off leaves and yet trying to get as much volume at a time. It is a time consuming but enjoyable process with music playing and lots of conversation between pickers.

LEARN MORE
To Roasting

The coffee is separated into size and weight density before it is brought to the roast room.  Immediately after roasting, we bag the coffee into our quality coffee bags and allow the coffee to off gas in the bag. This is the reason for the valve on the bag, allowing excess off gas to escape so the bag will not explode. Not only is the off gas very aromatic but it is carbon dioxide which slows the process of deterioration of the freshness. Roasted coffee is done daily and shipped during the off gas process, giving you fresh coffee when you order.

Flowering Coffee Tree
Coffee Trees begin the season by pruning our perennial coffee trees to allow flowering in the winter/spring, as coffee is in the gardenia family and are extremely fragrant. Our winter is our dry season but we do get an occasional storm that bring us some rain. As that shower occurs, after a dry spell, the coffee will begin to flower, small amount of blooms at first, starting in late November through May and once pollinated, turn into small beans.
Kona Coffee Cherry
The red coffee fruit is referred to as ‘cherry’ while on the trees, until it is picked, the red skin is peeled off, the sweet mucilage is removed by fermenting and the bean is sun dried. The beans ripen according to the rounds of flowers and so we have to pick the trees as many times as we have rounds of flowers to harvest only the red, ripe, mature beans without damaging the tree or remaining green coffee.
Kona Coffee Trees
During the rainy summer months, the coffee beans grow in size and mature starting in July through January. The harvest is done by hand picking only the mature red beans, leaving the green beans behind to mature later. Annually we must fertilize and spray for bugs with organic compounds that kill the bugs with garlic and fungus.
Kona Coffee Farm Views
Our work is long and hard through the harvest and our greatest reward is where we are, Honaunau, Kona, Hawaii with it’s marvelous coastal views. E Komo Mai, (welcome) please come see for yourself!
Coffee Roaster
Each of our roasts uses unique time and temperatures to reach the perfect profile. This is the most artful segment of the coffee business as it is a skill and takes years to perfect. Some roasting companies use computers to regulate this but the green bean can change throughout the year and slight modification is required.
Langenstein Farms Operation
Langenstein Farm offers this virtual tour for those that can’t visit our farm to see what we do, in case you can’t see for yourself in person. We welcome visits but we request that you call 808-938-4739 to let us know when you may be coming, as we are a working farm and would like to be available when you want to visit.
Langenstein Farms Gate
Langenstein Farms’ team tends the coffee from flower to roast 365 days a year to ensure the highest quality year after year. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed.
Langenstein Farms Coffee Roasts
Langenstein Farms uses a fluid bed or hot air roaster for an even, smooth taste and user friendly caramelization of sugars and starches. Since most of us break our fast with our coffee, we want something that can be absorbed without negative impacts on the body. Convective roasting ( hot air ) is more compatible with your system than conductive ( frying ) roasters which use a flame under a rotating barrel.
