Who is Kona Joe?

He's your average Joe. He went to Hawaii, where he fell in love with his wife, met a wild dolphin, and planted a coffee garden. Now he makes the richest Kona Coffee in the islands. It is our wish to share his story with you. The story of how Joe became Kona Joe.

Once upon a time a handsome young man walked on the beach alone. He thought of many things but mostly he thought of how wonderful the beach was and how nice the sound of the surf was to his ears.

As he thought of many things he wondered what it would be like to live more simply. To live closer to nature and maybe grow a garden. Suddenly he heard a voice from nowhere tell him to just go ahead and follow his heart. Joe looked around quite confused when suddenly a dolphin leaped from a wave and shouted to him.

He invited Joe to play with him in the waves where they talked of many things. Joe came to see the dolphin every day just before sunset. They surfed together when no one was around. So Joe stayed on the island and planted coffee.

One evening, Joe came to the beach to meet his dolphin friend when he saw the most beautiful woman he had ever seen sitting on a rock as the full moon rose. He knew right there and then that this was the woman to share his dream with.

Together they nurtured their garden and it grew and grew as did their love for each other. Of course they are married now and endeavor to live life happily ever after.

Deepa-Tiare is a wonderful artist and she paints the most beautiful paintings. She loves to paint growing and living things. Their house is filled with a virtual garden of her paintings. You can see a sample of her art work here.
