I have only cupped this Kona a couple times due to limited quantity and just receiving it. Tested at an American Roast. Nice big beans are easy to roast, keep the roasting slow, temperature low, and medium roast (American to City + is max) so you can taste the nuanced flavors of the bean.

Lions Gate Kona Coffee Farm is five hectares (14 acres) on the slopes of Hawaii’s Mauna Loa Volcano. The "heirloom" trees grown at Lions Gate Farm are from 60 to 100 years old. Like a fine wine grape, age adds body and depth to coffee. The result is a wonderfully smooth, flavorful coffee with no bitterness. Our Estate coffee is selected from the best beans produced on the farm. Hand-picked from September through December, the beans are milled and dried on-site in the warm Kona sun. Three generations of the Shriner family work together to ensure that only the highest quality coffee is provided to our customers under the Estate label. The Big Island region of Kona, has produced coffee since the early 1800's. Kona's sunny mornings, cool ocean breezes, and cloudy afternoons provide the perfect climate the coffee plant prefers. This climate, combined with rich volcanic soil, and the amazing amount of hand-labor and care help to produce one of the best premium coffees in the world. Aloha!
