OUR COMMITMENT TO QUALITY STARTS AT HOME
1987
THE BEGINNING
John Parry traveled to Costa Rica to learn about its growing cocoa industry. However, a chance encounter with a member of the Costa Rican Coffee Federation convinced him to visit a coffee mill. The building was constructed in the early 1900s, brimming with history and the unforgettable aroma of fresh coffee, leaving a lasting impression on John. That visit sealed his decision to enter the coffee trade. Inspired, he purchased a 40,000 pound container of coffee, shipped it to the U.S., and sold his first bag under the name "Costa Rican Gold."

LEGACY & TRADITION
In 1999, John embarked on a journey to leave a legacy and start a coffee farm in the heart of Kona, Hawaii. Drawn to the world-renowned Kona coffee belt, he set out to turn a dream into reality.
Today, that dream has turned into a thriving 500 acre coffee farm, where every bean is grown, handpicked, and processed with care to produce certified high-grade Kona coffee. A true reflection of our dedication to excellence.

OUR COMMITMENT
FROM OUR FARM TO OUR BLENDS
“My pursuit for exceptional coffee begins at our farm. After a lifetime of farming certified high-grade Kona Coffee, I know what it takes to grow and process great coffee. That’s why we source 100% Arabica coffee from trusted farms around the world that meet the standards and values we established on our own farm.”

PASSION AND PARTNERSHIPS
For 38 years, John traveled across Central and South America, learning and perfecting the craft of coffee farming. With each visit, he built lasting relationships with farmers and traders, connections that grew into lifelong friendships. To this day, he stays closely connected, ensuring he remains at the forefront of industry insights, allowing him to always source the highest quality coffee beans from the best producers.
