Laura Ross, master roaster at Hula Daddy Kona Coffee, is the winner of the Coffee Review’s Number One Coffee of 2018. This is the first time that Coffee Review has declared any Hawaii coffee to be the top coffee of the year.
Ross roasted Kona Mocca coffee beans grown on the Hula Daddy farm in Kona. Coffee Review described the coffee as, “A marvel of a coffee, inviting and esoteric, chimerical and grounded, all at once.”
“We have always known that Laura was one of the finest coffee roasters in Hawaii” said Karen Paterson, owner of Hula Daddy Kona Coffee, “We are so pleased that other people recognize the contribution she is making to quality Kona Coffee.”
