Award Winning Specialty Coffee

Whoo Hoo!

It's a three-peat! We’ve secured first place for the Hāmākua District at the Hawaii Coffee Association Annual Cupping Competition in 2022, 2023, and again in 2024. 

This prestigious competition assesses coffee bean quality through the expertise of professional coffee graders, known as Q graders. They evaluate various factors, including aroma and flavor, assigning a numerical score to the coffee. A score above 80 is classified as specialty coffee.

We’re incredibly grateful for this recognition—it’s a true testament to the excellence of Hog Heaven Coffee farm-to-cup! 

When you buy from Hog Heaven Coffee, you know the quality has been authenticated.
