Sharing Kauai Coffee at Home and Around the World
We love it when we have the opportunity to share Kauai Coffee in a way that celebrates our staff, supports our island community, and coffee lovers worldwide. Growing coffee we are proud to share with family is the foundation of everything we do, and you are an essential part of our 'ohana.
This season, we have had some incredible opportunities to celebrate the hardworking staff that make sharing our delicious, island-grown coffee possible. If you were sitting around the family dinner table with us, these are the stories we would tell. What would you share with us?
Kauai Coffee takes Specialty Coffee Lovers from Japan on Virtual Trip to Kauai
In September, Kauai Coffee traveled to Tokyo, Japan for the World Specialty Coffee Conference and Exhibition. The Conference was one of the largest gatherings of coffee professionals and Specialty Coffee Association competitions in one place. Kauai Coffee shared samples and a taste of paradise with a virtual 360° tour of the Estate.
"Our VR exhibition was very well received. We had more than 800 views in three days," said Fred Cowell, General Manager. "Our ability to transport guests from the show floor in Japan to our farm on Kauai was unprecedented. We had a constant stream of guests lined up to experience the virtual tour," he continued.
