Our Google Reviews
Would highly recommend visiting Uluwehi Coffee Farm if you're on the big Island, definitely our favorite farm tour!
If you prefer a personal and intimate tour that is led by incredibly knowledgeable people, this is absolutely the right place for you.
That said, the tour is a great insight into a)how a coffee plant can be grafted to a stronger root structure for robustness, and b)you can ask your roasting questions as well.
Bring your rain-gear as it's typically misting or more onsite.
It's difficult to find with internet mapping. I'd have the owner email directions to you, & use the exact gate code (starts with #) to get in.

We appreciate the hospitality, all the efforts and joys the owner offered us today. We hope we can come back to big island, and if so, we will visit Uluwehi Coffee Farm for another time.
Re: logistics - My wife and I made a day-of reservation for a tour at 11am today, which was super easy to do online. Note that Google Maps doesn't show the exact location of the farm so if you sign up, be sure to read the directions to his place carefully as other reviewers have noted and anticipate another 3-5 minutes extra to get to the actual farm location which is past a security gate (which itself is interesting). Everything that Franck showed us is right there and so there is really not much walking. At the end (or even at the beginning, in our case) there is some of his coffee to try. So delicious. Enjoy!
We buy coffee beans and ground prepared at the moment!! I recommend it! If you like coffee and know its process you have to come to this place!
A little tip when heading to the farm. When you put it in your gps it will take you to a gated community and you’ll think you’re in the wrong spot but you are in the right location. Check the confirmation email for the tour and it will have a gate code for you to get in and you’ll follow the road until you take a left turn onto uluwehi road and from there you will see signs.
We enjoyed 'the antidote' in this morning with my tricolate brewer. Well balanced with fruity taste.
Try this peaberry!
I love both of them and I like to go back and forth between these two different styles depending on the day.
My favorite might be the Antidote Red which I find complex and rich but at the same time well-balanced. I highly recommend it.
Antidote 34 and Antidote Red are perfect for coffee lovers!!
Excellent coffee, highly recommended. One of our favorite source of specialty coffee.
Coffee Review
Red Bourbon Anaerobic Washed – 95
Complexly fruit-driven with subtle savory underpinnings. Strawberry guava, banana, cocoa nib, honeysuckle, hints of goat cheese in aroma and cup. Richly aromatic, deeply sweet with bright, juicy acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. The deep-toned finish elegantly extends the character of the cup.
