Visiting Kona Rainforest Organic Coffee Farm
What are the farm's hours and is it open on weekends?
Kona Rainforest Organic Coffee Farm is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM. It is closed Saturday and Sunday, so weekend visitors should plan around that schedule.
Can I take a farm tour?
Yes, farm tours are available by appointment. The tours give visitors a firsthand look at their organic cultivation and roasting process, and are described as owner-led and educational. Contact them through mawahocoffee.com to schedule.
Is the coffee truly certified organic?
Yes, Kona Rainforest Organic Coffee Farm holds 100% Certified Organic status — a distinction shared by fewer than 2% of Kona growers. The farm operates off-grid on solar power and uses practices such as bio-char soil enrichment as part of its carbon-negative approach.
Do they roast the coffee on site?
Yes, coffee is small-batch roasted on the estate. After roasting, beans are air-shipped the following day to preserve freshness, whether you order online or pick up directly from the farm.
Can I have coffee shipped to the mainland?
Yes, they air-ship beans the day after roasting to maximize freshness. Visit mawahocoffee.com to browse roast options and place an order.
What type of coffee do they grow?
The farm grows 100% Kona coffee in the Kona coffee belt on the slopes of Hawaii Island. The volcanic terroir and microclimate of the region, combined with their organic practices, are central to the flavor profile they highlight.
