Our Medium Roast is grown on the slopes of a Hawaiian volcano. At 2,400 ft. above sea level, mineral-rich lava rock and cool mountain air create a bean that’s smooth, low-acid, and unlike anything else.
Naturally low-acid and easy on the stomach, with flavor notes of rich cocoa, toasted macadamia, and a touch of citrus. Every sip is smooth, rich, and grounding

What Our Customers Are Saying
A Mountain Brew Escape
Up in the mountains outside of Kona, we
found this gem of a coffee farm. They
offered a coffee flight tasting with
delectable pairings. They had tea tastings
too that were really good. We loved the
vibe here. Our barista, Lynn?, was great!
She was knowledgeable and fun. There
were others that welcomed us onto the
property such as peacocks, dogs, cats,
birds which include turkeys. We also met
Manny of Manny's coffee who was fun to
talk to. Definitely a highlight of our trip

A Taste of Aloha and Adventure
Staff was beyond friendly and generous. We were welcome to explore their unique and vast estate before the tastings, which featured many fun things to see and explore. The coffee tasting was a great experience, as it also featured several nuts and chocolates to complement every flavor. The environment of this place is exactly what you expect from a Hawaiian visit: the views, taste, and generosity were unmatched.
David Mercurio
I would give this place at 6 star rating if I could.
We did not do the tours, but we did do a coffee tasting and had a great discussion about coffee growing, coffee brewing and coffee drinking. All the coffees, which are estate grown, are amazing. The owners recently acquired a bakery and the baked goods are mouth-watering. I came away with several different types of coffee and some estate ground turmeric. You can order off their website and I suspect this will be my Christmas gift for everybody this year.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fresh is the coffee when it arrives?
Each bag is roasted fresh on our farm in Kona and shipped directly to you, no warehouses, no stale inventory. You'll taste the difference in every sip.
What does it actually taste like?
Smooth, rich, and never bitter. Expect notes of brown sugar, island spice, and a touch of tropical sweetness, like a Hawaiian vacation in your cup.
Is this real 100% Kona coffee?
Absolutely. No blends, no fillers—just pure, award-winning Kona beans from our family farm. It’s the kind of coffee that ruins you for anything else.
Is it whole bean or ground?
You choose at checkout! We offer both, so your brew method is covered.
When does it ship?
Orders ship fresh within 1–2 business days—straight from our Kona farm to your door.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yep! You’re in full control. Pause, skip, or cancel anytime—no questions asked.
Is it really low-acid?
Yes. Our high-elevation, volcanic-grown beans naturally produce a smooth, low-acid cup that's easy on your stomach.
What Is the Typical Delivery Timeline?
USPS Ground Advantage delivery is estimated at 5–6 business days, but mainland deliveries may currently take 10+ business days, especially in colder regions.
Delivery timelines are estimates and are not guaranteed once the package leaves our facility. If you need it sooner, please select an expedited shipping option.
Coffee Grown
At Buddha’s Cup, we blend ancient agricultural wisdom with modern innovation to produce coffee that’s as conscious as it is exceptional.
Our beans are cultivated using biodynamic farming methods, an advanced form of regenerative agriculture that treats the farm as a self-sustaining ecosystem. This holistic approach enriches the soil, protects biodiversity, and nurtures the health of the land for future generations.
with Purpose
From seed to sip, every step is rooted in purpose, guided by science, and grounded in respect for nature.
We've also pioneered the use of UVB light infusion, a cutting-edge technique that enhances the plant’s natural growth cycles. This process naturally increases antioxidant levels and elevates the flavor complexity of each bean, resulting in a cup of coffee that’s not only better for the earth, but better for your body and your palate.
