There is something to be said about the view and the fantastic coffee!!!! Wow was it top tier! It feels like a custom tropical treehouse. We sat around her concrete table as we sipped sample after sample of award winning Kona coffee. On the TV we watched a live feed of the volcano. It was such a genuine experience all the way through. She took the time to walk us around the farm and explain the entire process. So much effort goes into making such a delicious cup of coffee. This place is highly recommended. It has extremely limited hours so be sure to be mindful of that .

We were served several tastings of the coffee (7 or 8 small cups) and every cup was delicious! My favorite was the SL34 and I purchased a purchased a pound and half of it.

It was genuinely the best coffee farm we had been to...and we've been to several! The view is beautiful as well. The hours are extremely limited so make sure to make plan to come.

You should also know that the business also has a food truck where they vend at the Kamuela farmers market in Waimea on Saturdays. Their food is great, but not sold at the farm.

I was referred to Cornwell Coffee Company by a woman I met on the island whose daughter works…read morethere. A web search led me to Kona Premium Coffee Company (Cornwell no longer exists) and only a website and no purchasing information besides online/shipping. I had the business card so we drove to the Bishop Road location at 4:50 pm on a Wednesday as the office is open until 5 pm. All signs pointed to Heavenly Hawaiian Farms (not Kona Premium). Clearly not a store front and no one was in the office. We called and it went to the answering machine that we heard behind the office door. The next day I called as all the listings said the farm tour and tastings were by appointment only. I left a message and no one ever returned my call. The answering machine also lists a number of businesses so I'm not sure what's going on. Now, the plus side to this trip is on the way down the hill, there was an unstaffed roadside stand for Morning Glory Farms where I bought coffee ($20/half pound - great price) and some fresh fruit. Paid by Venmo, all was delicious.

Found this by Google searched "oldest certified organic Kona coffee farm". Booked a free tour on…read moretheir website. It located up a hill in Captain Cook. The road was narrow with many turns, but it worth the drive. Received warm welcome from Tara after parking on the ground floor. While talking about their move from New York and their works in Hawaii, we were joined by Ed on the upper level. He talked about his visions to keep and operate this coffee farm in all-nature ways to keep certified as organic. Even with some diseases on the tree roots, they used the nature and sustainable methods to control possible spreading and to treat the bacteria. The tasting was then hosted by Jessada. He explained from the volcano's contributions, tree growing, coffee cherries, hand picking, washing, fermenting, drying, grading, roasting, and more. They even separated those fancy peaberries! We were able to enjoy both freshly milled and brewed medium and dark roasted coffees. Those were our youngest family member's first ever coffee! He also talked about growing and caring turmeric. We bought multiple packs of their coffee beans and one pound of turmeric to go. We then walked about their farms and also saw papayas, bananas, avocados, and other tropical fruits. The entire visit was highly professional, knowledgable and educational! We received warmest welcome from Tara, Ed and Jessada.

Came on island with little research and a big checklist of ideas of "experiences" we wanted. I…read morefeel like we fell into the most authentic micro roaster experience we could have. Don't let the slick website fool you. This is a mom and pop, 2 people with an idea/dream who made it a reality. If mass market produced, easy parking and quick stop with bathroom is your vibe, this ain't it. I made my reservation on the website, we received a confirmation, and a text with directions, my maps app did just fine. We had a late start and since it was a Sunday and not overbooked Ed way kind enough to say still come we will see you when you get here. The turn off was easy to miss, and the road up the hill is not for the timid driver- we did fine in our rental sedan going slow, but an suv, our something with higher clearance would be more forgiving. The roads are local and small, be polite and use pull outs for letting other cars by. The pay off is views of the coast, the mountain, coffee - blossoms, berries and picked trees. It is other worldly in an agricultural Willy wonky way. Then you arrive... Ed met us on the road and directed us to park in his carport. It is a home, with an in basement tasting room where you discover the magic Ed and Tara have been brewing. Ahem. We sampled a medium and dark roast. I will state for the record I am no coffee snob. I don't know enough about coffee to have opinions. But the coffee we had today was other worldly good. I think it was pour over style in this cool contraption that reminded me of an ice cream cone holder with sample cups collecting the coffee below. Ed heated the water to 174 precisely. He amiably chatted about his family's story and what a designation of Kona Coffee means. Small batch hand processed coffee is special and comes with an expensive price. As I stood in the farm basement, which is a cluttered mash up of tools, farm equipment, packaging materials and bags of beans- this is a labour of love and inspiration. The coffee was hands down the best I have ever had - European, African, Costa Rican- nothing tastes like Rooster Farms Kona. It is like tasting the island aloha in a cup. We bought 3 bags for $100. We will make that last long time, and fun fact, they offer mail order so replenishing is possible. The tasting is free. Walking the grounds allowed, but no formal tour. Bottom line: Authentic, sincere, and an amazing cup of true Kona coffee. Off the beaten tourist path and a real experience. 10/10 no notes.
