Big Island, Hawaii
Kona coffee country
Mid-January: the sweet spot in Kona.
We land after the holiday crowds and before the spring rains, right as Kona brings in the last of its harvest. The mills and roasters are running full tilt, and the whole slope smells like fresh coffee. We start early on the flanks of Hualālai and Mauna Loa, with clear views down to the coast before the afternoon clouds roll in. Walk the rows with the families who farm them, pick ripe cherries by hand, and drink the coffee right where it grows.
- Visit working Kona coffee farms
- Pick the last cherries of the harvest
- Walk through mills and roasteries in full swing
- Early mornings with clear coastal views
Trip 2 · September 2027
Ecuador
The Andean coffee highlands
September: the last weeks of the Andean harvest.
Then we head south to Ecuador for the close of the main harvest, when the final ripe cherries come off the trees and the drying beds fill with beans in the sun. It is the end of the highland dry season, so days run bright and warm and nights at altitude turn cool. Right on the equator, coffee blooms and ripens on the same branch, so one walk shows you the whole cycle. Hike cloud-forest trails between the farms, pick alongside the families who grow it, and taste the cup that comes from every step.
- Pick in the last weeks of the harvest
- See beans drying in the highland sun
- Blossoms and ripe cherries on one branch
- Farm-to-cup tastings at the source
