    Kat was incredibly knowledgeable and willing to answer odd questions. We learned sooo much about the process of brewing coffee. It’s incredibly complex! The experience fed my mind and my caffeine habit. Highly recommend.

    Taught me a lot

    Amanda_R, Oct 2025
    The coffee workshop is great! It was a hands on experience to brew and taste the coffee. Normally I have cream or sugar in my coffee but with the tasting we did black coffee and the coffee was rich and did not need anything to it to enjoy. I got some great tips to brew coffee which I will use moving forward and even bought coffee

    Great time!

    This is a fun and interactive class. You get to learn about the growing, harvesting, and roasting process and how each step effects the coffee you drink.

    Fun experience

    Beautiful area. Great coffee, friendly staff. Marissa was super knowledgeable. Helped us better understand all things coffee. Growth, roast, and preparation methods.

    You get a lot of attention from them. Legitimate, high quality farm.

    Great. Well worth it. Underrated. Strongly recommend. Especially good coffee as well. Try the cherry tea they make too.

    It was a very enjoyable and informative one hour seminar on different methods of brewing coffee. We actually learned quite a bit.

    Fantastic time learning about coffee brewing on our honeymoon!

    Marissa was awesome and very knowledgeable! We enjoyed learning about Hala Tree's coffee growing and roasting process and their recommended brewing methods during our (roughly) hour-long workshop. Marissa gave us excellent recommendations for local poke shops. Highly recommend!
