Excellent visit. Coffee tour great. Lot of information and excellent free coffee samples.
What an exciting experience we had at Thunder Mountain Coffee. In addition to the tour we did the walking trail. You do not want to miss the lava tube and the amazing view at the end overlooking the valley. Be on the lookout for the pheasant rooting around in the tube looking for food. We also purchased a bag of the whole bean Peaberry Coffee. Thank you.
Great coffee & fun to tour the plant
There's an area to walk around and see coffee trees too!
