Before the advent of boutique coffee farms the big mills bought almost all the coffee cherry and processed it under a blanket name. Hawaii Kona Farms is a relic of those days with tours of the big mill and coffee from multiple farms. This is a nice product that aggregates many of the flavors of South Kona coffee.

Hawaii Kona Farms is owned and operated by the 32 members of the Kona Pacific Farmers Cooperative, the oldest Kona coffee co-op. They have been producing coffee since 1910.

The minerality is smooth and reminds us somewhat of Szechuan Peppercorns. We didn’t experience a lot of fruit in this cup.

It’s a good roast with a few chips and chunks in the bag but overall a good experience. Hawaii Kona farms is located on the Napoopoo Road, just a bit above Kealakekua Bay.
