Got this great 100% Kona coffee at Costco. Drank it every morning. Under $20 a pound (good value on Kona coffee). More

We visited the coffee farm on Mother's Day. It's located at 3500 feet so is way above Kona. The mornings can be sunny but afternoons are cloudy. Take a jacket. Had excellent tour led by Judi Gutherie. She is an experienced coffee grower and knowledgeable about the operation there. We learned a lot and have a new appreciation about what... More

While in Kona you most try Kona coffee and Mountain Thunder is a great place to do that. Expected the tour to show more of the plantation itself but the amount of information and coffee education provided is extensive. Judy our guide was beyond knowledgable but a bit cheeky, she seemed irritated that we were drinking our coffee with cream... More

It is an easy drive up (watch the speed limits!). Simple little little tour around the grounds (pardon the pun). The tour guide was very nice. She gave us background and current state of the business. It was of course some salesmanship but that is to be expected. Wonderful free samples that actually convinced us to buy some items. Pet...

Getting to this plantation is a bit of a trek but well worth it. The tour was fun & the chocolate covered coffee beans were really intense. My daughter likes to buy 5 pounds of green beans & then roast them at home. More

This is an easy tour as you only go across the street and then into the processing buildings so its perfect for people with strollers or walking limitations. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer any question. I learned new facts about coffee flavor and roasting that I hadn't known before. They provide free coffee and its... More

This is not a huge tour looking at a large complex manufacturing site, just going through one building... but I did learn so much about coffee and the different types and grades and qualities. I certainly am more selective now when I choose coffee to drink - and I know how to store it correctly ! The lady that took... More

I didn't like the attitude of our tour guide, she was a bit prickly. I loved learning about the different bean sizes, what makes a coffee taste bitter, how to choose a roast, learning the certified organic roasting process, and all of the hard work that goes into coffee farming! The chai they sell in their gift shop is the... More

Visited Mountain Thunder on our way from Hilo to Kona. Don't remember the lady's name, but she is quite intense and very passionate about coffee. She gave a great free tour - taking you from how coffee began to how they use spectrometers to sort and select the right beans for the right grade. You get to see inside the... More
