We have the best 100 % Kona Coffee, period! The smooth taste of Downes Grounds is undeniable. The flavors of our special roasts are sure to please everyone, from the most serious coffee drinker to a Sunday Sipper! With a nice boost of energy and no crash, Downes Grounds is the perfect coffee to have everyday.
Downes Grounds is a family operation. As a young boy, alongside my brother and father, we planted our coffee trees in the heart of the kona coffee belt. Just above Holualoa town, I grew along side the very trees I planted and tended them carefully as I became a man.
Today, our trees are fully mature and my goal is to share our unique coffee with the world. A true Estate 100% Kona Coffee, Downes Grounds beans never leave the farm until they are shipped to you. Years of hard work, careful tending, and selective picking ensures a consistent, quality cup of coffee every time. All ow wet milling is done right here on our farm in our wet mill, and the beans are 100% sun-dried on our Hosidana floor. Roasted to perfection with a medium and dark roast our coffee packs flavor unlike none other.
So we invite you to our website, downesgrounds.com to pick up your very own bag of paradise. We guarantee you will enjoy the smooth rich flavor of Downes Grounds!
Aloha! Brian
