Langenstein Farms is a gourmet Hawaii Kona Coffee Farm located in Honaunau in Kona Coffee Country on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Langenstein hand picks all of their coffee cherry (fruit) which is then pulped at the farm’s wet mill. Next the coffee is fermented for a time that may range from 12 to 24 hours. During this fermentation period the coffee cherry are soaked in water that is changed repeatedly until it becomes very clear.
After fermentation the Kona coffee is dried in the sun. Drying may take one week to ten days, and during this time the coffee beans are repeatedly raked to ensure even drying.
After drying the Kona coffee is placed into burlap bags and the stored for at least two months. After this aging period the coffee is taken to the dry mill where the outer skin is removed. After milling the coffee is roasted in a Fluid Bed Roaster which uses hot air and ensures a very even roast.
The result of all of this meticulous care by Langenstein Farms is that the coffee is smooth and flavorful, exhibiting the fine qualities one would expect of 100% gourmet Kona coffee. The region’s soil, climate, and unique coffee heritage ensures that premium Kona coffee will remain as one of the world’s top gourmet coffees.
