Daylight Mind, the roastery, coffee school and upscale beachside restaurant in the Kona region of Hawaii, has created a wildly ambitious coffee menu, incorporating every part of the coffee cherry, including skin, flesh and seed.

The one-time-only tasting menu, “The Whole Coffee,” is in celebration of the island’s harvest season, and will be available January 30.

For the culinary event, Daylight Mind owner Shawn Steiman is employing the expertise of his cousin, Harvey Steiman, who also happens to be the editor-at-large of Wine Spectator magazine. Harvey Steiman is selecting wines to pair with the menu, and the cousins will host a 4:30 p.m. coffee and wine pairing session before the meal, discussing similarities and differences between the drinks.

The meal costs $130 per person, or $240 per person with the wine pairing.
