Papaaloa Joe is the coffee company of Lean-To Farm, a small operation Ian and Dionne planted in 2010 at 1,200 feet above the village of Papaaloa on the Hamakua Coast, north of Hilo on the Mamalahoa Highway. Three acres of red caturra grow on land that went back to guinea grass and waiawi after the sugar plantations left. The farm hand-picks, wet-ferments and solar-dries every cherry, then roasts in small batches on a drum roaster on site. The coffee fills the cups poured a mile down the road at the Papaaloa Country Store and Cafe, which has anchored the village since 1905. The crowd is Hamakua farmers, Honokaa locals coming south for groceries, and travelers winding the coast road between Hilo and Waipio. Order a cup of Papaaloa Joe at the country store if you want Hamakua coffee where Hamakua actually drinks it. Order a bag from the farm if you want to take the coast home.
