If you know us, you know that we love getting our hands on unique coffee varietal grown locally here on our Hawaiian islands. Only a handful of farmers grow the red bourbon varietal so we are honored to be able to source with Franck Carisey from Uluwehi Coffee Farm in Holualoa. With a rich sweetness & bright pomelo-like acidity, this coffee is a great brew that bridges a modern and traditional style roast.

About Franck Carisey & Uluwehi Farm

Situated at an elevation of 1900ft along the beautiful, fertile slopes of Hualalai, Uluwehi Farm is a 5 acre farm owned by Franck and Nathalie Carisey. Uluwehi farm is mostly focused on the production and processing of the Red Bourbon and SL34 varietal which are both known for their complex flavor and rich sweetness.

Franck and Nathalie both grew up in small villages in France, surrounded by beautiful farms offering amazing produce and it was only a matter of time before they would want to start their own farm.Over the last 25 years, their professional lives have taken them to the far corners of the world. They have had the opportunity to visit and live in beautiful places in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. But when they landed in Kona in 2014 for a well-deserved vacation, they knew instantly they had found their paradise.

They started their farm in 2018 and they have grown to become experienced farmers producing some of the best coffee in the Kona region. In 2022, Franck’s SL34 placed 2nd in the KCF Classic Division and 5th overall at the annual Hawaii Coffee Association statewide cupping competition. In 2023, Franck’s SL34 placed 8th placed in the KCF Classic Division. This is our second year sourcing from Uluwehi Farm and we hope to continue to cultivate a great roaster/farmer relationship with one of Holualoa’s best farm.
