Four Seasons Resort Hualalai announces a one-of-a-kind coffee farm and tasting experience at the Five Star, Five Diamond Kona resort. In partnership with Big Island Coffee Roasters and Kona Coffee & Tea, the experience offers guests access to a boutique Kona coffee farm followed by a coffee tasting and pastry pairing led by Nate Musson or one of the Resort’s certified coffee experts on his team.

Hawaii Island traces its acclaimed and world-renowned coffee heritage to the reign of King Kamehameha more than 200 years ago. Known as one of the world’s best coffee regions, Kona and the surrounding areas continue to grow and roast award-winning and internationally recognised coffee.

Musson has worked in coffee throughout the world for more than ten years, and created this experience to showcase Hawaii Island’s rich coffee industry. “Kona is home to dozens of the world’s top coffee farms, and this new experience allows guests to learn about the Hawaiian coffee culture in Four Seasons style,” states Nate Musson, Hualalai Trading Company Manager at Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. “We are excited to offer this highly curated tour and tasting to our guests - something that is not being done anywhere else in our region.”

The two part experience begins with a private coffee farm tour in Kona, the premier growing region in the state of Hawaii.  Guests will learn from the proprietor of the farm about the coffee growing process from harvesting to drying in preparation for roasting. The farm grows some the coffee beans supplied to Big Island Coffee Roasters, which produces the highly rated coffee served at Hualalai Trading Company. Guests will learn from the proprietor of the farm about the coffee growing process from harvesting to drying in preparation for roasting. Following the farm tour, guests will enjoy a coffee tasting at the Resort led by one of the Resort’s on-site coffee experts. The tasting will feature four types of Hawaii Island coffee, brewed tableside, and paired with pastries prepared by Executive Pastry Chef Kalani Garcia.
