What you can expect
Step into one of Hawaii's most authentic hidden traditions and discover the fascinating connection between Kona coffee and the legendary Hawaiian cowboys, known as Paniolo. Learn traditional roasting techniques, hear the stories behind Kona's rich coffee heritage, and hand-roast your own coffee to take home as a unique and meaningful souvenir.
Set against the breathtaking landscapes of Kona, learn how generations of local families and Hawaiian cowboys prepared coffee using simple techniques, patience, and craftsmanship passed down over decades.
Guided by passionate local experts, explore the fascinating history of Kona coffee, the origins of the Paniolo tradition, and the important role both have played in shaping life on Hawaii Island.
Then comes the most memorable part of the experience: roasting your own Kona coffee by hand using traditional methods inspired by Hawaii's rich heritage.
As the aroma of freshly roasted beans fills the air, gain a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship and culture behind every cup.
At the end of the experience, take home your own personally roasted bag of authentic Kona coffee—a meaningful keepsake and a delicious reminder of your time in Hawaii.
Perfect for coffee lovers, families, couples, food enthusiasts, and culturally curious travellers, this experience offers far more than a tasting: it offers a genuine connection to one of Hawaii's most authentic living traditions.
Rather than simply visiting a coffee farm, leave with a storey, a skill, and a piece of Kona's history in your hands.
