Conquering Your Moment
"KAPU" our childhood game
"Conquering the moment" was the epitome of our childhood game in Hawaii known as "KAPU." Growing up on the islands, we would eagerly engage in this thrilling activity, reminiscent of "King of the Mountain." The objective was simple yet exhilarating: to engage in fierce battles with fellow players, trying to claim and protect specific areas, marking them as off-limits to others. These intense encounters fueled our competitive spirit and created lasting memories of childhood adventure in the Hawaiian paradise.
The Start of KAPU Coffee the Company
"I find great joy in mountain biking and exploring remote locations and peaks. These are the kinds of places that require significant effort to reach, and not many people are willing to make that commitment. The satisfaction comes from conquering the challenging journey and finally arriving at the destination, allowing me to relish in that space and claim it as my own, even if only for a fleeting moment. This personal experience of connection with nature and accomplishment is what we define as 'KAPU'."
Initially, I relied on energy drinks before rides for a pre-ride boost, despite their unhealthy additives. Then I switched to coffee, specifically unsweetened iced Americanos, but it was difficult to find them consistently as they required an espresso machine. Luckily, I discovered ready-to-drink Cold Brew Coffee. While it provided the caffeine kick I needed, the available options were too bold for my preference. So, I started sampling different coffee blends, experimenting to create a smoother and lighter cold brew that I could enjoy.
The research resulted in a lighter ready-to-drink cold brew coffee that would provide a significant boost of energy.
As I delved into the process of cold brewing coffee, I discovered its remarkable qualities, including lower acidity and a reduced bitterness compared to hot brewed coffee. Motivated by my findings, I began bottling this exquisite beverage to share the experience with my loved ones. Encouraged by their positive response, I made the decision to turn my passion into a business, both selling and spreading the joy of cold-brewed coffee.
"I initially began by selling a small number of bottles to my close friends and their acquaintances. However, I soon realized the potential of my product and decided to expand its reach by participating in the local farmers market. It was at this point that I introduced Nitro Cold Brew Coffee to my customers, which completely transformed their coffee-drinking experience. The infusion of nitrogen into the cold brew resulted in a remarkably creamy texture, and I also added a touch of sweetener to enhance the flavor. The best part was that this unique concoction didn't require any additional cream or sugar."
