If there’s one beverage Hawaii is known for, it’s coffee. After all, Hawaii is the only American state with land able to grow coffee. And while we love all of the incredible coffee farms you’ll find across the Hawaiian Islands — there is one variety that has become world-famous. Grown in a small section of fertile volcanic soil on Hawaii Island’s Kona coast, Kona coffee is definitely a cut above any coffee you can find, well, pretty much anywhere. To experience some of the best coffee this famous region has to offer, head to the oldest organic farm in the state.
Welcome to Rooster Farms! Not only is this the oldest certified organic Kona coffee farm in the entire world, but the coffee has won several awards throughout the years.
