The International Coffee Organization has one of the best histories of coffee on their website, which you can find here.

Many people are interested how coffee is processed, and you can find information on how it is farm picked here, and how it is usually processed here.

Pau Hana Coffee is 100% Kona Coffee and certified organic, using a dry method of field processing.  Beans are sun-dried in a traditional Hawaiian manner, in hoshidannas, to preserve all the natural flavor possible.

The beans then have the parchment skins removed and are set aside in a controlled environment to be aged. After aging, the beans are then roasted in small quantities to ensure the highest quality product is available to you..
