About Us
Mission Statement
"Our mission is to provide the Rich, Bold Taste of Paradise while promoting the preservation of the Hawaiian Honeycreepers"
My Story
In my early years I was fascinated with birds and the older I got the more interesting they became. As an adult my family and I made trips with certain birds in mind. We've traveled extensively through Mexico and the Caribbean including places such as Playa del Carmen & Ixtapa to Jamaica & Tobago. But it was on a trip to the Garden Island of Kauai in 2012 that I learned of the plight of the Honeycreepers endemic to these Hawaiian Islands.
As an ardent coffee drinker I had often purchased Kona Coffee for it's wonderfully bold taste. While on my second trip to this beautiful island I discovered and toured a local coffee plantation where the idea of opening a coffee shop started. The coffee shop will sell only Hawaiian based coffee's as a way to help with the efforts already in place to protect and help restore the dwindling honeycreeper populations throughout the Hawaiian Archipelago.
The name "Apapane comes from one of the more common honeycreepers of these Hawaiian Islands and was the very first honeycreeper I had the privilege of seeing for myself. "Apapane Coffee is dedicated to bringing you, the coffee connoisseur, the rich, bold & robust coffee grown exclusively on the Hawaiian Islands. One percent of all proceeds will go to the recovery and preservation efforts of the endemic and incredibly beautiful Hawaiian Honeycreepers.
Vision Statement
"Our Vision is to promote and sell the best coffee grown on the Hawaiian Islands. A portion of all proceeds from the sale of our coffee and other products promoting Hawaii and Hawaiian Honeycreepers will be donated to the conservation efforts already in place to save the endangered honeycreepers endemic to the Hawaiian Archipelago"
