A family-run farm in Holualoa where the focus is on the beans and the personal touch. It's genuinely good for those seeking a smooth, low-acidity coffee that's approachable for those who usually add cream and sugar, and for those who want a personal, owner-led tour of the land. If you're looking for a polished, high-volume tasting room or a quick drop-in cafe experience, this is a better fit for the larger estates. This is a working farm where the quality of the beans is the priority over the flashiness of the facility.
Reviews mention 'private tour' and 'owner-led tour of the land' with Steve and Joanie.
Heavy focus on shipping beans home and 'holiday shopping destination' for coffee lovers.
A 'hidden-gem' farm in Holualoa that is a destination visit rather than a quick stop.
Detailed reviews on roast levels, 'Extra Fancy' grade, and notes of 'crisp apple' and 'dark cherries'.
