As the holiday season approaches, there’s nothing quite like the warmth of a perfectly roasted cup of Kona coffee and the comfort of seasonal flavors that bring joy to every sip. At Menehune Coffee Company, we’re thrilled to share our special holiday roasts and limited-time cafe offerings that capture the spirit of aloha and the magic of the season.
Our Holiday Coffee Collection
This year, we’re bringing you exceptional holiday roasts crafted from our 100% Kona Coffee, grown on the volcanic slopes of Mauna Loa. Each bean is handpicked, wet-processed, and roasted in small batches right here in Captain Cook, Hawaii—ensuring the freshest, most flavorful cup possible.
100% Kona Holiday Roast
Our signature holiday blend features a medium-dark roast that brings out the rich, smooth notes our Kona coffee is famous for. With subtle hints of cocoa and a velvety finish, this roast pairs perfectly with holiday gatherings, quiet mornings by the tree, or as a thoughtful gift for the coffee lovers in your life.
Tasting Notes: Smooth body, cocoa undertones, balanced acidity, clean finish
Chocolate Macadamia Nut
A local favorite that becomes even more special during the holidays! Our chocolate macadamia nut flavored coffee combines the richness of premium chocolate with the buttery sweetness of Hawaiian macadamia nuts. It’s like dessert in a cup—without the guilt.
Vanilla Macadamia Nut
For those who prefer a lighter, sweeter profile, our vanilla macadamia nut coffee offers a delicate balance of creamy vanilla and nutty richness. Perfect for holiday brunches or afternoon treats.
Coconut Cream
Transport yourself to a tropical holiday with our coconut cream coffee. This smooth, aromatic blend brings island vibes to your winter celebrations, reminding you that the holidays can be enjoyed in flip-flops and sunshine.

Fall wouldn’t be complete without this beloved classic! Our Pumpkin Spice Latte features our signature 100% Kona espresso blended with real pumpkin, warm spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove), steamed milk, and topped with whipped cream. Available hot or iced from August through November.
Unlike chain coffee shops, our version uses authentic Kona coffee—making this the most premium pumpkin spice latte you’ll ever taste. Each sip supports local Hawaiian farming and brings you closer to the source of your coffee.
Iced Latte with Menehune Honey
Our year-round favorite takes on extra magic during the holidays. Made with our smooth Kona espresso, cold milk, and a drizzle of local Menehune honey, this drink offers natural sweetness and a connection to our island’s rich agricultural heritage.

The Story Behind Our Holiday Coffee
Every cup of Menehune coffee tells a story—from seed to cup, our process honors both tradition and quality. Our 200-acre farm on the slopes of Mauna Loa produces some of the world’s finest coffee, with trees ranging from young saplings to 40-year-old veterans that can yield up to 20 pounds of cherries each.
During harvest season, our team handpicks only the ripest cherries, processes them using the traditional wet method, and mills them the same day to prevent any mold or quality issues. After a careful 12-hour fermentation and mechanical drying process, we roast small batches twice weekly to ensure maximum freshness.
This dedication to quality is what makes our holiday roasts truly special. You’re not just buying coffee—you’re supporting Hawaiian agriculture, veteran-owned business, and a family committed to sharing the spirit of aloha with every bag.
