We learned so much about coffee and the coffee we purchased to take home with us was the best coffee I've ever had. He truly loves coffee and loves the business.“

“I absolutely love ❤️ this coffee. It is so flavorful and the smell is really inviting. I bought some when I went to Hawai‘i last year and gave some as a gift and I got all positive feedback from them. You should definitely try it and you will not be disappointed. ? very pleased customer.“

“Rooster Farms Coffee is not your typical coffee shop experience, but well worth the adventure. Located on a rural road, the drive is scenic and immersive in local life. While they are not open for tours, the owners offer a tasting of their excellent Kona coffee beans. The owner is kind and informative, providing a unique experience. The DIY aspect may not be for everyone, but if you're looking for great coffee grown by real people, this is the place to visit. Despite encountering a challenging road and some unexpected interactions, the overall experience is enjoyable, especially if you like things a little punk rock, including your coffee. Don't miss out on the opportunity to taste and purchase their delicious coffee blends.“

“I’ve been exploring Kona coffee lately and ordered the Tri-Pack to give this a shot. I have settled in on the Estate which I think was by far the best of the 3. The shipping the first time around was a bit suspect as it showed up in a USPS bag that looked like it came from EBAY or something. After my first order, the regular shipments have been arriving in boxes. I sent a bag to one of my family members and it took a while to get to Boston, but they loved the coffee - as I do.I will be trying some other Kona brands to compare, but I don’t have any of the quality complaints that some others have mentioned on here. I’d recommend Koa to others.“
