Coffee Tasting Experiences on Oʻahu
If you love the immersive experience of a wine tasting, wait until you try a coffee tasting.
At Hala Tree, we believe that coffee deserves the same attention to flavor, origin, and craftsmanship as fine wine - and our curated tasting experiences bring that to life.
​
We invite you to join us in our Coffee LAB to discover the world of specialty Kona coffee in a whole new way.
What Is a Coffee Tasting?
Much like a wine tasting, our coffee tastings are an interactive, guided experience where you will explore multiple brews side by side - comparing flavor notes, body, acidity, and aroma.
​
At the Hala Tree Coffee LAB, our tastings help you understand how factors like variety, processing method, roast level, and brewing technique all impact the final cup. It’s a sensory journey led by our expert baristas and educators.
