Big Island Epic Coffee Tour på Ohana Ranch
Beskrivning
Utforska en fungerande kaffeodling, rosta och packa ditt eget Hawaiikaffe och ta med det hem direkt från källan. Kom och spendera några timmar på Ohana Ranch och lär dig hur Hawaiianskt kaffe odlas och rostas. Du tar en kort promenad genom gården med en lokal Guide, berättar om vulkanisk jord, odlingsförhållanden och vad som gör Big Island kaffe annorlunda. Gästerna får händerna smutsiga plantera ett kaffeträd och lära sig hur kaffe går från planta till böna. På roststationen hjälper du till att rosta och påse kaffe, lär dig vad du ska leta efter under rostningsprocessen och tar hem påsen med kaffe du rostat som en del av upplevelsen. Vi avslutar med en ny kopp hawaiianskt kaffe precis på gården. Det är en liten grupp, avslappnad upplevelse — dels gårdstur, dels kaffelektion, och en bra ursäkt för att sakta ner och njuta av marken.

Resplan
Möt din lokala Guide på Ohana Ranch, bara några minuter från Volcanoes National Park, gå ut till kaffefälten med din lokala Guide. Gå genom träden och lär dig hur Hawais vulkaniska jord påverkar bönornas smak. Gästerna kommer också att plantera ett ungt kaffeträd, ett praktiskt sätt att få kontakt med marken och stödja framtida skördar.
Gå sedan till rostningsstationen där du får lära dig hur råa bönor förvandlas till färskrostat kaffe. Gästerna deltar i en praktisk rostning och påse session och ** ta hem påsen med kaffe de rostade **, sedan avsluta turen med en kopp nybryggt Hawaiianskt kaffe som avnjuts precis på gården.

Rachel was a great guide. We enjoyed learning about and sampling the coffee. Our 15 year old was not bored!
Jacqueline, our guide, was knowledgeable and pleasant, and since it was just me and my husband we had her full attention. We didn’t do a lot—planted a coffee tree and watched coffee beans roast then bagged while Jacqueline explained the history of coffee in Hawaii and the process of coffee preparation. We did get to take that bag of coffee home and drink some fresh brewed coffee. It was smooth and easy to drink.
I was a little disappointed overall, the guides were fun and personable, or it would’ve been a total bust. It was raining, which is fine, no one’s fault, but there’s no actual grown coffee plants yet to look at, we were only outside for around 10 minutes, the coffee was subpar, and it was just a tiny roasting process and not super informative either. I’m sure in a few years when the plants are mature, the building is finished, and it’s their own coffee, it will be great, and the people running it are awesome, just wasn’t quite there yet as a tour.
The Ohana Coffee Tour was a Mother’s Day gift for my wife, and arranging everything was easy — even joining one day later was no problem at all. It’s a fun experience and the people are friendly, but it still feels a bit like a startup. Everything is quite basic: the registration process, the building itself, and especially the toilets. We enjoyed planting a coffee tree, tasting coffee and the bean roasting demonstration was really nice. One important note: reaching the ranch with a normal car is difficult without risking damage. A 4x4 is highly recommended, and they should mention that more clearly in advance.
So let me say first I love agriculture tours and always try to find chances to learn about local plants. We had a very rainy day and our guide was super nice and accommodating. A few things to keep in mind if you book (these weren’t quite clear in the description so passing this on for other interested travelers): 1) The road to the ranch is VERY rough- if you don’t have an SUV it’s going to be tough on your car. 2) The ranch is very young- about 3-4 years old. If you want to see a mature coffee farm this isn’t it. The trees are very small but you will learn a lot of sustainable coffee farming and roasting.
Great experience. Learned a lot about coffee and enjoyed our tour guide Rachel. We were able to plant, taste and see the process.
Great tour! Highly recommend! We learned a lot about coffee and we even took the ones we roasted home!
Very cool experience. We really enjoyed the coffee tour and learning more about about Hawaiian culture in general. Would highly recommend.
It was less of an experience than we thought it would be. We did get to plant a coffee plant. We were shown the roasting process on a small scale. Disappointed that with 2 of us we only got one bag of sample coffee instead of 2.
I think it’s off season so we ended up in the coffee tour by ourselves, but Pono and Rachel took care of us! It felt nice to contribute by planting a coffee tree, and the knowledge about coffee and about Hawaiian history of the area specifically blew us away. To top it off with a cup of coffee you roast yourselves is pretty rad. And they gave us a great locals list of spots to find eats and other experiences(which panned out super well!) They mentioned that this was a newer farm. Can’t wait to return in a few years and see what it turns into! The ATV tours looked fun too and we were greeted by a golden haired piggie on the way back :)
