Although the Kona coast of the big island of Hawai'i is most well known for producing coffee, the first Hawaiian island to commericially produce coffee was Kauai back in 1831. Today, visitors to Kauai's Blair Estate have an opportunity to take a first hand look at how coffee was produced in Hawaii before the turn of the 20th century.
The Blair Estate offers free guided farm tours of aproximately one hour in length. In addition to the tour, visitors are treated to a free coffee cupping and a visit with the farm hair sheep. Visitors are also able to purchase all the Estate's 100% Hawaiian grown coffees, macadamia nuts, honey, chocolates, jams, jellies and gifts. As this is a family operated farm, please contact the Estate for weekly tour times.
