Hala Tree Coffee is a family-run Kona estate nestled on the sun-kissed slopes of Hawai‘i Island. Here, every cherry is hand-picked, milled, and roasted on site, then marked with a unique QR code so you can trace its story from bra...
This coffee farm delivers an impressively personable experience that visitors consistently rave about. The free tours are compact but packed with information, covering everything from picking methods to different processing techniques and what makes Kona coffee special. Guides like Margaret and Marissa clearly know their stuff and present it in a friendly, engaging way that makes the complex roasting and development process accessible to everyone. The setting itself adds to the appeal, with beautiful views stretching down to the ocean from the tasting lanai and coffee plants climbing the slopes. Visitors appreciate the generous sampling both before and after tours, with many guests mentioning the coffee flight option that lets you explore their different blends. The laid-back, welcoming vibe seems to stick with people, and several reviewers noted it felt more intimate than other coffee tour options on the island. Expect to leave both educated about coffee cultivation and likely loaded up with bags to take home or send as gifts.
This tour is great - free tour, it's fairly quick. Their plants look nice and you get a good sense of how they pick, different processing methods, and what exactly a Kona coffee is. The lanai where you can do additional tasting has an amazing view down to the ocean on one side and up the slope full of coffee plants on the other. They are not shy with the samples when you come in and after the tour. There are also tons of different options for purchase in the store -- and now both of our families are getting lots of coffee as presents. We liked our three half tastings, all good!
