Big Island (Hawai’i) post 4 – Greenwell Farms

Our next stop on our travel day was at Greenwell Farms for the deluxe coffee farm tour and tasting.

Bronson was our guide and his tour was definitely worth the price! John LOVED the tour and tasting! I’m not a coffee drinker so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Bronson made it very clear how to do a tasting and surprisingly, the coffee was tolerable for this non-coffee drinker.

Our tour lasted about 2 hours and had 4 guests. We learned about the varieties of coffee, where in Kona the coffee grows, why it only grows in a limited area, and how to best prepare our coffee for drinking.

We saw the beans as they would be when picked; saw the machinery that removes the outer coating (no picture); saw the sorting and drying platform; and we were able to visit the roasting room. .


Our Guide Bronson and his Greenwell Farms official video! He is also a small coffee farmer who sells to Greenwell Farms. Bronson has considerable knowledge of the process from seedling to coffee beans for purchase as well as the farm grounds. We were very impressed with him and would highly recommend his “deluxe” tour!
