Greenwell Farms

Greenwell Farms is located between Kealakekua and Captain Cook on the Mamalahoa Highway, Hawaii’s Belt Road. This farm was started in 1850 by Henry Greenwell and has been kept up by the family ever since.

The Greenwell Farm itself has trees stretching from the lower elevations to over 3000 feet. They are also one of the larger purchasers of Kona Coffee Cherry, buying from some 200 farms. As a result this coffee is a great middle of the road Kona Coffee with the minerality and rocky soil characteristics of various farms all blended together.

Their tasting room has a wide variety of roasts for you to try out with lots of information about each. We enjoyed the medium roast as a really good representation of Kona Coffee characteristics without the individualization that comes from single farm coffees.

The tasting room is open 8:00am to 5:00pm and they do tours until 4:00. No appointment necessary. This is a good stop in South Kona and we recommend this coffee for those who aren’t interested in the single farm characteristics.
