Moonbow is a decaffeinated coffee crafted from 100% Arabica beans sourced from select Latin American farms grown in fertile volcanic soils. The beans are decaffeinated using the sugarcane ethyl acetate process, a natural method derived from fermented sugarcane that preserves the coffee's terroir and sweetness. This medium-dark roast features tasting notes of cocoa, golden caramel, and toasted hazelnut with a whisper of stone fruit adding subtle brightness. The coffee has a rounded body and gentle sweetness, designed to be versatile and approachable while retaining full character.
Founded in 2002 by R. Miguel Meza in Minnesota, Paradise Coffee Roasters relocated to Hilo, Hawaii in 2008 to work directly with local farmers and root the business in origin. The roastery operates a Diedrich IR12, utilizing equipment known for precision and control in capturing the nuanced flavors of specialty coffee. Coffees have consistently achieved exceptional ratings from Coffee Review, with more than 100 coffees scoring between 93 and 97 points and an impressive five year average of 94 points. The selection specializes in Hawaiian coffees from Kona and Ka'u regions alongside carefully selected producers from Panama, Jamaica, and Vietnam.
