Known for its rich volcanic soil in the forests of Hawaii, Kona is an ideal location for coffee fields. Christine Coleman, owner of Buddha’s Sanctuary in Holualoa, has been growing Kona coffee beans since 2004, which has blossomed into Buddha’s Cup Kona Coffee.
Using biodynamic farming techniques, Buddha’s Cup uses low- and high-tech methods to create its own specific style of Kona coffee. As for low-tech, Coleman utilizes the region’s natural vegetation in her growing and production, and the beans also are hand-picked.
