The space seamlessly blends a working coffee farm with an inviting tasting room and roasting facility.

About the Coffee

UCC takes pride in their 100% Kona coffee, which is grown and roasted right on the estate. Visitors can witness the roasting process firsthand and even participate in it through their signature Roastmaster Tour. This hands-on, hour-long experience allows guests to roast their own beans under expert guidance and create custom labels for their bags – a unique offering that coffee enthusiasts particularly appreciate.

The estate offers free tastings of their various Kona coffees, including their house Estate blend and a distinctive Whiskey Barrel Aged variety. Their roasting approach focuses on bringing out the natural chocolate notes and depth of flavor that Kona coffee is famous for, without any acidic undertones.

The farm offers both guided tours and self-guided experiences where visitors can learn about the entire coffee-making process, from cultivation to cup. Their affogato, made with house-roasted espresso poured over their own Kona coffee ice cream, has become legendary among visitors and is consistently praised as a must-try treat.

Creature Comforts

The estate features ample outdoor seating on their deck, with picnic tables perfectly positioned to take in the coastal views. The space is ideal for those who want to relax with a book or simply savor their coffee while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Parking is convenient and easily accessible right off the main road, making it a stress-free stop on any coffee tour.

Bagged Coffee & Shipping

Fresh-roasted beans are available for purchase on-site, with visitors particularly appreciating the ability to take home beans they've personally roasted during the Roastmaster Tour.
