Here is a site with Kona coffee farms. Many of the places have websites & sell coffee.

You'll be surprised what you will get when you do a google search on Kona Coffee.

Bayview Farm. I've visited the coffee farm myself twice. Their website is [email protected]. Get the Extra Fancy Medium Roast. The Peaberry is also good if you prefer a more mellow taste.

Be careful not to overdo it with Kona coffee. I did an island cruise and had to go to the ship's doctor because I thought I was having a heart attack. He asked me how many cups of Kona coffe I had that morning and I said 6...he nearly fell over. That stuff is really tasty but strong.

Greeetings, Kinch. In person or via internet --try Country Samurai Coffee in Kona. The little shop is off an alley in town. The owner, Mr Kunitake (which literally translates to Country Samurai) proudly shows you his family photos. They grow the beans on their farm in the hills, and roast them-- several generations' famly business. Wonderful mellow smooth pure Kona coffee. You can order from his web site www.countrysamurai.com
Enjoy!

I recommended Bad Ass Coffee before but don't see my note. Bad Ass really had the greatest Kona. I love their Pea Berry, also. They have a website, too. I've been ordering from them for 15 years.

You're welcome. Somebody mentioned buying their coffee already ground. Don't ever do that! Always buy whole bean coffee. You destroy the oils on the beans when you grind it. It is much fresher when purchasing it as whole beans.
