Rock Your World with Monarch Coffee Farm's Rockstar Roaster Box: Unveiling the Collaboration

Welcome, coffee connoisseurs and curious cuppers alike! Are you ready to embark on a unique Kona Coffee adventure? Prepare to have your taste buds tantalized by Monarch Coffee Farm's first exciting collaboration with Mark Michaelson, a renowned roasting rockstar.

Erynne Moss, our passionate 2023-2024 Harvest Intern, dreamt up this innovative concept: a Taste of Gesha Box featuring Mark's expert roasts of our very own Kona Gesha coffee. Processed in three distinct styles by the team at Monarch Coffee – red honey, natural, and washed – this box promises a sensory journey unlike any other.

But who is Mark Michaelson, you ask? He's a coffee legend, plain and simple. A past US Roasting Champion, 11th-place World Roaster Champion, and former head roaster at Onyx Coffee Lab, Mark brings an unparalleled level of expertise to this collaboration. His passion for coffee shines as brightly as his roasting skills as an educator with San Franciscan Coffee Roasters.

Why Gesha?

This rare and coveted varietal is known for its complex flavor profile, delicate floral notes, and exceptional smoothness. Grown on our farm in the heart of Kona, these Gesha beans have been nurtured with care and meticulously processed to unlock their full potential.
