Kau Coffee Mill

We saw the signs for this coffee plantation and mill and thought we would check it out. I’m so glad we did. They were offering a free tour about 10 minutes after we arrived! (Free tours are hard to find in Hawaii- most cost between $30-$40 per person!) They also had many samples to try. Some were better than others but the coffee here is pretty good!

Sam started with a smoothie.

Then we walked into the fields to learn about how coffee grows.




Red berries are ready to pick. The coffee bean is inside. We learned all about the different ways to extract and dry the beans. It’s amazing how many options there are!

Eventually the dry beans are bagged and ready for roasting. There are also many was to roast the beans. Who knew?
