Where is the best place to buy Kona Coffee?

Buying Kona coffee directly from Mountain Thunder offers several key benefits, including superior quality and ethical practices. Here's why it's worth it:

🌱 1. Guaranteed Authenticity

• At Mountain Thunder, we guarantee 100% Kona Coffee. We do not blend coffee from other regions. We only sell 100% Kona Coffee.
  

⚠️ Many grocery-store “Kona” bags are only 10% real Kona coffee. Many so-called "Kona Coffees" you might find online from 3rd party retailers is often of dubious origin and inferior taste.

🏆 2. Superior Freshness and Quality

• Mountain Thunder roasts and ships in small batches, often within days of your order. We roast frequently, so you are assured of the freshest Kona Coffee.

• You get peak flavor, aroma, and oil content, which degrade over time in warehouse inventory.

Direct purchase = roasted to order → better flavor + aroma.

🤝 3. Support Local Growers

• Kona coffee farms are typically family-run operations, not corporate.

• Buying directly from Mountain Thunder means more of your money goes to the actual grower.

You're directly supporting a Kona farmers, not a multinational corporation.

🌍 4. Ethical and Sustainable Practices

• Small Kona farms are often low-impact and treat workers fairly. Mountain Thunder has a great history of treating our growers fairly and supporting Kona Coffee farming.

• Direct transactions build trust and transparency—you can even learn about how the coffee was grown and harvested. We offer free tours at our facility seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

Better for the environment + better for the people producing your coffee.
