Celebrating the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival: Community, Coffee, and Aloha
What an incredible weekend at the 2025 Kona Coffee Cultural Festival's Holualoa Village Coffee & Art Stroll, celebrated on Sunday, November 9th! This beloved annual event is always a highlight of the year, bringing together coffee farmers, roasters, and enthusiasts to celebrate the heart of Hawaii’s coffee heritage. The turnout was amazing, the energy was high, and we were so proud and grateful to be part of a community that continues to keep Kona’s coffee legacy thriving.
As members of the 100% Kona coffee farming community, this festival means so much to us. It’s a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and connection. It’s also a reminder of the hard work and aloha that goes into every single coffee bean. Meeting festival-goers, sharing our story, and representing the larger network of local farmers filled us with pride and gratitude.
This year there was even more to celebrate, as we were honored to win 2nd place in the People’s Choice Awards at the 26th Annual Holualoa Village Coffee & Art Stroll! This award is voted by attendees for their favorite coffees of the day, making this recognition especially meaningful. Knowing that so many visitors enjoyed our coffee truly fills us with joy and appreciation. We are humbled by the love and support received from the public, since this is the 3rd consecutive year that our farm has ranked in the top three (1st place in 2023 and 2024).
Our 100% Kona Cinnamon Bliss Coffee and 100% Kona Cascara Coffee Cherry Tea were definite crowd favorites! Festival visitors loved the warm, sweet, spice of the cinnamon infused- honey process that captures the comforting essence of the holidays in every sip. Our cascara tea, made from dried coffee cherry husks, also sparked plenty of curiosity and excitement. Many were surprised to learn that this naturally sweet, lightly fruity tea is not only delicious but also a sustainable way to enjoy more of the coffee plant’s goodness. Hearing the positive feedback and seeing so many smiling faces made all the hard work worthwhile.
Events like this remind us why we do what we do; to share our love of 100% Kona coffee, celebrate community, and support local growers who keep this island’s coffee tradition alive. To everyone who stopped by our booth, chatted with our team, or simply shared a smile, we send our most heartfelt mahalo!
