HOLUALOA, HI, USA – Kona Earth, a family-run Kona coffee farm located in Hawaii has announced a new collection of gifts for Mother’s Day. In addition to featuring its single-estate, 100% Kona coffee, the collection includes coffee soaps & scrubs, candles, and gourmet 75% dark chocolate made with Kona cacao from the farm.
Kona Earth owner Joanie Wynn curated the collection of Kona-inspired items. “The idea was to offer a Hawaiian spa experience that moms can enjoy at home. With delicious aromas and flavors, we hope to deliver the feeling of an island getaway with treats for all the senses.” Joanie said. “Coffee has known exfoliating and antioxidant properties, so including coffee scrubs and soaps in our gift sets made sense.”
The company partnered with other artisanal makers to create the products featured in the gift sets. Soap maker Tiffany Riffer makes the coffee scrub soap using Kona Earth’s roasted coffee beans. She mixes liquid and ground Kona coffee with emollients like coconut and olive oil.
The chocolate incorporates cacao from the Kona Earth farm. Hawai’i chocolatier Ken Melrose of Primavera Farm hand-pours the 75% dark chocolate bars scored into individual squares for savoring.
“The items we include in our gifts for Mother’s Day had to evoke the relaxation and tranquility of Hawaii. They also had to be high-quality items that I love and use myself,” Joanie added.
In addition to selling Kona coffee and gifts, husband and wife owners Steve and Joanie Wynn are committed to giving back with their “Care In Every Cup” initiative. A percentage of proceeds is donated to support the Hawaii-based non-profit Kohala Center. Specifically, their donations are directed to support reef preservation at Kahalu’u Bay.
“Giving back has always been a priority for us, and our customers like the idea of giving great Kona coffee gifts that benefit a great cause,” commented Steve Wynn.
Items from the collection can be purchased directly from the company’s online store. They are shipped via FedEx to mainland customers, or pick-up is available for locals living in Hawai’i.
