Ancient Leaf Tea Farmstand
About
Ancient Leaf Tea Farmstand, on Hawaii (Big Island), sits along Old Mamalahoa Hwy in Papaikou, HI 96781, United States. First-time visitors should expect a roadside stop with tea grown and sold close to where it is picked, rather than a large retail floor. The farmstand has earned a full 5 out of 5 from 154 reviews, a record that reflects how consistently it has been received.
Papaikou sits on the windward side, and the road through it links the farmstand to Hilo, while the rest of the island, including Kailua-Kona, Volcano, Waimea, the Kohala Coast, Puna, Captain Cook and Kona, is reachable by car. That spread of towns means the farmstand can be worked into a wider island drive rather than treated as a single stop. Its position on the windward coast also puts it on the wetter side of the island, where rainfall shapes the growing conditions.
The farmstand's website at ancientleaftea.com/visitus carries details of the visit. Hawaiian islands have windward and leeward coasts, with wetter and drier conditions respectively, so the drive over from the Kona side crosses into rainier country.
The wetter season runs from November to March, and the drier months from April to October suit a farmstand stop. Travellers moving between the Hawaiian islands go by air, since no road or regular ferry connects them. The Hawaiian monk seal and green sea turtle live in Hawaiian waters and haul out on its beaches.
