About
Nestled on the slopes of Mt. Hualalai on the Big Island, Mr. Bean Kona Coffee is a small, family-owned estate where 100% Kona coffee is cultivated with exceptional care. Their journey began with saplings from wild coffee trees already on their land, located on what was once an old cattle trail. The charming name "Mr. Bean" was affectionately coined upon inspecting their very first hand-picked cherry, an intimate moment that reflects their deep connection to the coffee-making process from its very start. As a true estate coffee producer, every step, from nurturing their original orchard of Kona typica trees to processing the beans, happens entirely on their single, just-over-an-acre farm. What truly sets them apart is the family's unwavering hands-on dedication; they meticulously inspect each individual bean after harvest, a labor-intensive practice prioritizing quality over sheer efficiency. This, combined with the rich volcanic soil and idyllic Kona weather—sunny mornings and rain-misted afternoons—helps produce coffee celebrated for being "so smooth" and possessing distinct "character." Visitors and coffee enthusiasts will appreciate this profound commitment to authentic, locally grown Kona coffee. Their efforts in producing a premium artisan product have even earned them accolades, including 1st place People's Choice at the Holualoa Coffee & Arts Stroll. Mr. Bean Kona Coffee offers a genuine taste of the island, crafted with passion and meticulous attention to detail at every stage.
