This could be the most complete coffee experience you'll ever try, as you become a roast-master coffee expert with a crash course in java.
A scenic 30-minute drive from the pier brings you to the lush, tropical realm of Kona Joe Coffee, a farm set on a hilltop with a 270-degree view of the Kona coast. Kona Joe's patented growing process for crafting coffee results in truly remarkable brews, legendary here in Hawaii and around the world.
Enjoy a 30-minute guided tour with an agronomic engineer and a short video presentation offer insights into Kona Joe's unique approach, which combines traditional practices with modern technologies. Of course, you will get to taste Kona Joe's superb coffees and enjoy a selection of the farm's equally-famous chocolate delicacies.
On a small drum-roaster, roast 10 ounces of coffee to your personal taste; then, package it up and take it home with you -- a one-of-a-kind coffee experience.
Feel the breeze and drink in the views on the sun-kissed lanai, a perfect spot to enjoy a delectable cup of Joe. Browse the gift shop and showroom for Kona Joe products, original artwork, signature clothing and custom jewelry before returning to the pier.
