Hula Daddy Kona Coffee, Hawaii, United States

Farm to tongue coffee
This truly is a family farm with husband and wife running every aspect. They grow a handful of different types of beans on different parcels and pick, wash, roast and package on site. They have won several international awards with their product and because their house roaster takes copious notes of every batch, they can duplicate the winning formula for us mere humans to buy and brew at home. We bought one each of a handful of bags and will see how well our notes match theirs.

Fascinating tour where I learned more about coffee and its craft than I had anticipated!
Glad I picked this coffee farm tour of the 650 coffee farms in Big Island, although I'm sure there are much less than 650 tours available. This was a one of a kind experience, as Hula Daddy has their own q grader, or certified coffee expertise, which we were informed there are only 12 on the whole island. She was a fascinating person, with skills and knowledge you are unlikely to come across again! If you are a coffee fanatic or connoisseur, this is definitely the better coffee tour for you. They distinguish between quality and quantity, and Hula Daddy is on the end of quality over quantity. They explain the subtle technicalities in their coffee farming, that are very unique and insightful of the expertise and craft that goes into creating the most quality coffee. Other tours (I did go on 2 tours) were more general, although just as fun. It depends on what you are looking for! Personally, I prefer the niche knowledge over general information. Our guide and the owner of Hula Daddy, was very personal and amusing. I will say, as a non-coffee fanatic, I personally enjoy cheaper and flavored coffee more than their quality crafted coffee, but to each their own!

Hula Daddy Visit
Overall, the experience at Hula Daddy was great. The people were super nice and do a nice job explaining the history of the farm and the process to grow beans. The tour is also really small, only four others with us which was nice. The coffee is excellent (albeit overpriced for our needs, 1lb ranged from $60-$90), but we enjoyed our samples from a little station where you can test the day’s brew. Only knock on the tour was there wasn’t a ton of detail given from the field to roast stage. While I’m sure there are portions that are proprietary and they are not roasting every day, it would have been nice to see. Still a great tour and highly recommend!
