The story

Mr. Bean Kona Coffee is a small family-owned farm on the Big Island of Hawaii. We produce estate coffee. Comparable to estate wines, estate coffee is grown and processed on just one farm. With just over an acre of coffee we can do the hands-on work that the bigger growers can't. Visitors to the farm are amazed at the amount of labor our family puts into the coffee making process. When we hand picked our first cherries from our hand-cultivated trees, we knew we had something outstanding. Inspecting that luscious cherry we exclaimed, "Hello, Mr. Bean!" We sampled the results and exclaimed, "Wow, this coffee is exceptional, this coffee has character!" Our product had named itself! So say hi to Mr. Bean Kona Coffee, "The Coffee With Character"!

Common questions

Visiting Mr. Bean Kona Coffee

Is Mr. Bean Kona Coffee 100% Kona?

Yes. Mr. Bean Kona Coffee is a single-estate farm on Mt. Hualalai where all coffee is grown, processed, and sold as 100% Kona. The farm traces its trees back to wild coffee saplings originally found on the land.

Can I buy beans, and do they ship to the mainland?

Have they won any awards?

Yes. Mr. Bean Kona Coffee earned 1st place in the People's Choice category at the Holualoa Coffee & Arts Stroll, a recognition of the coffee's quality among community tasters.

How close is it to Alii Drive?

The farm is located on Old Palani Rd in Kailua-Kona, within walking distance of the shops and restaurants along Alii Drive. It fits naturally into a morning exploring Kona town.

Do they offer farm tours?

The farm is small — just over one acre — and the focus is on producing and selling their coffee rather than structured tours. For a more immersive farm tour experience, other Big Island operations in the Kona belt offer dedicated tour programs. Check their website for any visit options.

What sets this estate apart from other Kona coffee producers?

The family hand-inspects each individual bean after harvest, a labor-intensive step most producers skip. Combined with the original Kona typica trees grown from wild saplings on their own land, the result is a coffee with what the family describes as a distinctly smooth character.
