Kona coffee is really a treasure in the world, it is not easy to find. The real Hawaiian Kona coffee, with caramel-like sweetness, makes people enjoy unique pleasure and leads you into the transcendental realm of coffee tasting.

Among all coffee producers, Hawaii's coffee industry management office is the strictest, with the highest labor cost and the best investment level.

Hawaii's coffee industry has to compete with the expanding tourism industry. Most coffee is grown on the slopes of Mauna Loa. Mauna Loa was originally a volcano, located in the western part of the Kona area of Hawaii Island. The coffee producing area is about 30 kilometers long, and its planting area is mainly concentrated in the north and south of the region. Coffee trees are planted in relatively desolate areas, but their soil is fertile and contains volcanic ash. Although it takes a lot of physical labor to start planting and it is very difficult to operate, it is gratifying that the coffee trees in Kona (at least 90 meters above sea level) do not seem to be affected by any pests and diseases.

The real Kona coffee is really a treasure in the world and it is not easy to find. The best Kona coffee is divided into three grades: super, super and first grade. This third-class coffee is produced under both manor and natural conditions. Most coffee that calls itself "Kona" on the market contains less than 5% real Hawaiian Kona coffee. Another good Hawaiian coffee, KaiFarms, can be found in America. In Hawaii, you can watch the fiery sunset sink into the crimson orange sea, feel the fresh air overflowing with flowers, and sit by the sea and have a cup of fragrant Kona coffee. I'm afraid there is no place in the world that can provide you with such enjoyment.

The earliest settlers in Hawaii arrived here in 300 -400 AD, and historians guess that they came from Marcos Islands. People from different tribes live on the island and are led by hereditary chiefs. The earliest Hawaiian residents created Hawaii's rich music culture, although few words were preserved.

Europeans stumbled upon Hawaii. At first, they were looking for a legendary passage to the East, where spices were produced, but they found the most abundant pearls in the Pacific Ocean. A captain named james cook landed in Kauai on 1778 to replenish his ship. He was caught in a cold and storm on his way back, so he had to return to Hawaii at the beginning of the following year and anchor at a beach in Kona. Since then, Hawaii has become an important stopover port in the world trade and navigation routes. Hawaiian chiefs exchanged sandalwood (a specialty of the island) for weapons, goods and livestock with passing ships. From the 19' s to the 1920' s, western religions began to spread widely on the island, and many churches built at that time have been used to this day.

Hawaii has a developed tourism industry. Visitors can visit the coffee farm, witness or participate in various processes such as coffee harvesting, coffee bean processing, baking and grinding, and make a cup of coffee that really belongs to them. In Kona area, there are about 600 independent coffee farms, most of which are small family farms, and the coffee planting area is usually between 18~42 mu. Kona Coffee can bring more than $6,543,800+to these coffee farms every year.

The cultivation of Kona coffee has always adopted the family cultivation model. At first, only men were allowed to work in the coffee garden, and later women joined in. This kind of family production in Hawaii prefers to rely on the efforts of family members rather than hiring workers to work, so it was normal for Hawaiian families to have eight or nine children at that time. Since then, new immigrants have come to Hawaii from the Philippines, the United States and Europe to engage in coffee cultivation. Over time, Hawaii has formed a social atmosphere with family culture as the core and easy to absorb foreign cultures, which has become a major feature of Hawaii.

Hawaii is also a paradise for tasting and buying coffee. Each island has several unique places for tourists and local residents to taste and buy coffee, including comfortable and warm shops and a comprehensive center to introduce coffee knowledge. The real Kona coffee in Hawaii makes people enjoy unique pleasure and leads you into the transcendental realm of coffee tasting. This is entirely from the oldest Arabica coffee tree.

Hawaii is the only state in the United States that grows coffee. These coffees are grown on the five main islands of the Hawaiian Islands, namely Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Kauai and Mallorca. Coffee produced in different islands also has its own characteristics. Coffee in Kauai is soft and smooth, coffee in Mallorca has high alcohol content and low acidity, and coffee in Maui has medium acidity, but the strongest flavor. Hawaiians are very proud of their 100% native arabica coffee beans.

Hawaii Island is the largest island in the Hawaiian Islands, so it is also called the Hawaiian Islands. Kona coffee is produced in the west and south of Kona area on Hawaii Island. Coffee trees are distributed on the slopes of Hualalai and MaunaLoa. The altitude here is 150 m ~ 750 m, which is just suitable for coffee growth.

The excellent quality of Kona coffee benefits from the suitable geographical location and climate. Coffee trees grow on volcanic slopes, and the geographical location ensures the altitude required for coffee growth; Dark volcanic ash soil provides necessary minerals for the growth of coffee; The climatic conditions are very suitable. In the morning, the sun gently passes through the air full of water vapor. In the afternoon, the mountains will become more humid and foggy. White clouds surging in the air are the natural umbrella of coffee trees, which will become clear and cool at night, but there is no first frost. Suitable natural conditions make the average yield of Kona coffee very high, reaching 2240 kilograms per hectare, while in Latin America, the yield of coffee per hectare is only 600 kilograms to 900 kilograms.
