Paradise Roasters

Paradise Coffee Roasters was founded in 2002 by Miguel Meza, beginning as a small family-run micro-roastery in Minnesota. From the start, the focus was simple: source and roast coffees of exceptional quality. Over time, Paradise became known for consistently offering some of the highest-scoring coffees in the world, earning more 94+ ratings from Coffee Review than any other roaster. But today, Par

adise is defined by more than scores. Now based in Hawai‘i, Paradise has become a leader in Hawaiian coffee—working directly with farmers across Kona and Ka‘ū to produce and showcase some of the most distinctive coffees grown anywhere. Through close collaboration with producers, Paradise has helped introduce new varieties, refine processing methods, and push quality standards forward on the island. In addition to sourcing rare and limited coffees, Paradise is known for its work in fermentation. By applying controlled, wine-inspired fermentation techniques, the company produces coffees with unique clarity, structure, and expressive flavor profiles. At its core, Paradise remains focused on building long-term relationships with producers and creating value through quality. By working directly with farms and investing in innovation at origin, the goal is simple: to produce coffees that stand apart—not just for how they score, but for how they taste.
