Hawaii is one of the most beautiful islands in the world and has the most amazing people. When most people think of Hawaii, they think of pineapples and coconuts, not coffee. However, Hawaii produces some of the best coffee in the world and is the only US state that produces coffee.
Even if you are visiting Hawaii on vacation, you should at least try and go on a Hawaiian coffee tour. It is a remarkable experience that allows you to see a different side of the island.
The following is the ultimate Hawaiian coffee tour guide:
Kona View Coffee Farm
Kona coffee is renowned all over Hawaii and the United States, and Kona View Coffee Farm produces some of the best coffee to come out of the state. The farm is on three acres of land on the slopes of Hualalai. The elevation and soil on the farm are perfect for producing the famous Kona coffee.
You might get a chance to pass by the farm during the Hawaii Ironman world championship, and barefoot shoes are an excellent idea for the race. It would be best to pass by Kona View coffee farm during harvest season between August and December. All the coffee is roasted on-site, and you can order roast on any day of the week.
Hula Daddy Coffee Farm
When you enter Hula Daddy Coffee Farm, you will be forgiven for thinking you are trespassing because of the small charming house and traditional rocking chairs. However, the farm produces some of the best coffee in Hawaii. The tour only costs fifteen dollars which is a steal considering the attention to detail and information you get on the tour.
The guides are passionate about coffee and the surrounding land, which is very apparent and enriches the tour. The farm has excellent reviews, especially about the guides who make it so easy to understand anything about Hawaiian coffee.
Greenwell Farms
Greenwell Farms is one of the largest and oldest coffee-producing farms in Hawaii. Hawaii remains a favorite vacation destination because of its history; the family-run farm has produced coffee since 1850. The farm and its staff are happy to share their history and spread the cheerful Aloha spirit.
You will find an excellent immersive and educational tour of Greenwell Farms daily, including the processing facilities and coffee fields. You can enjoy free samples of 100% Kona coffee at their store. The variety of the coffee on the farm is what makes the tour so good.
Buddha’s Cup
Buddha’s cup coffee farm is as unique as its name. Once you arrive at the sanctuary, you will get ATVs which you board to experience one of the best coffee tours in Hawaii. The tour only costs about $20, and you will experience magnificent sights on Buddha’s Cup. You can pick fresh fruit all over the sanctuary as you see the coffee trees and berries.
You can then return to the shop, where you can sample edibles made from farm ingredients. The nut trees, in particular, are a crowd favorite in Buddha’s cup and bode very well when blended with the coffee.
Heavenly Hawaiian
It does not get more heavenly on the island than a tour of Heavenly Hawaiian coffee farms. The farm is located high on the slopes of Holualoa and deep inside Kona. Heavenly Hawaiian comprises three major farms, each producing its type of coffee.
All three coffee varieties from Heavenly Hawaiian have won multiple awards, so the tasting on the tour is fantastic. It would be best if you tried to catch the Brewing Workshop, which is informative and delightful.
Hawaiian coffee does not get as much praise as it should. A tour of the above Hawaiian coffee farms will make you start buying Hawaiian coffee when you return home. Immerse yourself in the experience, and you will make lifetime memories of exploring the beautiful coffee farms.
