About
For an authentic taste of the Big Island, James Bean Coffee in Kailua Kona offers a genuine farm-to-cup experience. Since 2012, James has personally cultivated their 2-acre orchard, nestled within the famed Kona Coffee Belt on the slopes of Mt. Hualalai. This small, family-owned operation is passionately dedicated to 100% Kona coffee, grown organically and processed with meticulous attention—from hand-picking the ripe cherries with an almost "Zen-like" care to sun-drying and roasting them to perfection, ensuring a high-quality local product. What truly distinguishes James Bean Coffee is their commitment to sharing the journey of their locally grown beans. They warmly invite visitors for farm tours by appointment, coffee tastings, and even the unique opportunity to pick their own coffee. This hands-on approach, coupled with their dedication to organic practices and the exceptional quality of their single-origin Kona coffee, provides a deeply personal connection to Hawaii's cherished coffee heritage. For those seeking a truly immersive experience, information about their nearby treehouse accommodation is also available.
