South Kona is the Napa Valley of coffee; its perfect climate, rich volcanic soil, and plentiful sunshine grow the finest coffee in the world. What’s better, most of its 40+ farms offer free tasting sessions and tours. We found these to be the best of the bunch:
1. Rancho Aloha Coffee (808-322-1740). Certified organic (no pesticides, herbicides, or harmful fertilizers). One fantastic, clean cup of coffee.
2. Greenwell Coffee, 81-6581 Rte. 11 (808-323-2275). Free tours and tastings. Known especially for its plantation reserve coffee (made from the cherries of their 100 year old trees). Open M-F 8am-5pm, Sa 8am-4pm.
3. Kona Joe Coffee, on Rte. 11 between mi. marker 113 and 114. Home of the award winning “Trellis Grown” Coffee. Try it for yourself on their tour. Open M-F 7am-5pm and Sa-Su 9am-5pm.
4. Bay View Farms , 83-5249 Painted Church Rd. Known for their macadamia nut creme coffee. Open 9am-5pm daily for tours.
