The folks at MauiGrown Coffee have much to celebrate this holiday season.  After 12 months of growing and nurturing at the breathtaking Kaanapali Coffee Farms, their new harvest season is reaping exceptional coffee varietals of Yellow Caturra, Red Catuai, Typica and Maui Mokka.  The demand for their 100% Maui Origin coffee continues to soar with their customer base and distribution expanding worldwide.  Their products are also flying off the shelves with coffee aficionados purchasing MauiGrown Coffee’s products for gifts as well as for themselves this holiday season.

Here at home, there’s more reason to celebrate as MauiGrown Coffee Company Store has brought back their popular holiday coffees for a limited time only.

The “Yule Fuel” is a special complex blend of darkly roasted, 100% MauiGrown Coffee. Full body. Low acidity. Excellent in an espresso maker as well as drip.

“Maui Christmas” is a blend of medium and dark roasts of the Yellow Caturra variety. This coffee varietal is lower in acidity and as a dark roast produces a spicy character.

“Jingle Beans” is a blend of medium and dark roasted Red Catuai variety of coffee. This varietal offers strong, bright, consistency in the cup at a medium roast. Full body with subtle sweetness and lower acidity is characterizes the darker roast.

All holiday flavors are available in both ground and whole bean.

For those looking for a bit of respite from the busy holiday season, a visit to the MauiGrown Coffee Company Store in Lahaina may be just the answer. After perusing the shelves stock full of 100% MauiGrown Coffee, enjoy the display of historic plantation photos and memorabilia. Then take your delicious cup of coffee outside on the covered lanai where a view of the adjacent old Pioneer Mill smokestack awaits. However, don’t expect Santa Claus to appear from this 200-foot smokestack as it’s a designated National Historic Landmark.

“We invite everyone to visit us and taste the fruits of our labor,” said Jeff Ferguson, co-owner of the MauiGrown Coffee Company Store.  “To those who continue to buy our coffee year-round, we extend our deepest appreciation. You are the reason why MauiGrown Coffee is celebrated today and we can’t thank you enough for your loyalty and patronage.”

The MauiGrown Coffee Company Store is located in Lahaina at 277 Lahainaluna Road. Hours are Monday thru Saturday, 6:30 am to 5 pm. Closed Sundays.
