A Legacy Rooted in Family, Service & the ʻĀina
Kaipo Sheen isn’t just the founder and CEO of Makapueo Farms — he’s a third‑generation coffee farmer whose roots in Hawaiian agriculture run deep. Born and raised surrounded by the rich volcanic slopes of South Kona, he inherited a love for the land and coffee cultivation that spans decades. Kona Coffee Direct
Before returning to the farm full time, Kaipo served his country with honor as a U.S. military veteran. His leadership, discipline, and commitment to excellence now define his work as a Kona coffee producer — crafting beans that represent the very best of Hawaii’s coffee belt. Kona Coffee Direct
This year marks 20 years of Kaipo’s leadership as a coffee producer and over 50 years connected to coffee farming — a milestone that speaks to his expertise, resilience, and deep connection to the ʻāina (land). Kona Coffee Direct

What Makes Our Kona Coffee So Exceptional
Makapueo Farms grows and processes 100% certified Kona coffee right here on the slopes of Mauna Loa in Hawaii — a region renowned for its rich volcanic soil, ideal microclimate, and world‑class bean quality.
Kona coffee is one of the most prized coffees in the world precisely because:
-
Unique Growing Conditions: Sunny mornings, mild nights, gentle rainfall, and mineral‑rich volcanic soil give Kona coffee its signature smooth and balanced flavor profile.
-
Artisanal Craftsmanship: Every cherry is hand picked at peak ripeness, then carefully milled, dried, and graded to US standards. Kona Coffee Direct
-
Limited Production: Kona coffee is famously rare, grown only within a small region of the Big Island — making every bag special.
