Hawaii's coffee industry has to compete for space with expanding tourism. Most coffee is grown on the slopes of Mauna Loa. Mauna Loa was originally a volcano located in the western part of the Kona region of Hawaii. The length of the coffee producing area is about 30 kilometers, and its cultivation area is mainly concentrated in the north and south of the area. Coffee trees are grown in relatively inhospitable areas, but the soil is fertile and contains volcanic ash. Despite the physical effort required to start planting and the difficulties involved in managing it, it is reassuring to note that coffee trees in Kona (at least those growing above 90 metres) appear to be immune to any pests and diseases.

Hawaii is the only state in the United States to grow coffee, which is grown on the five main islands of the Hawaiian archipelago: Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Kauai and Mauroka. Coffee produced on different islands also has its own characteristics. Coffee from Kauai is soft and smooth, coffee from Mauroka is high in alcohol and low in acidity, and coffee from Maui is medium in acidity but has the strongest flavor. Hawaiians are proud of their 100% indigenous Arabica coffee beans.

Hawaii Island is the largest island in the Hawaiian Islands, so it is also called the Big Island. Kona coffee is produced in the west and south of Kona area of Hawaii Island. Coffee trees are spread all over the slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Loa. The altitude here is 150 meters to 750 meters, which is suitable for coffee growth.

The excellent quality of Kona coffee is due to its location and climate. Coffee trees grow on the slopes of volcanoes, and their geographical location ensures the altitude required for coffee growth; the dark volcanic ash soil provides the minerals needed for coffee growth; the climatic conditions are very suitable, and the sun gently passes through the air filled with moisture in the morning. In the afternoon, the mountains become more humid and foggy, and the clouds in the air are natural umbrellas for coffee trees. At night, they become clear and cool, but there is no frost. Natural conditions have allowed the average yield of Kona coffee to be very high, reaching 2240 kilograms per hectare, compared with 600 to 900 kilograms per hectare in Latin America.

Real kona coffee is a real gem and not easy to find. The best Kona coffees are divided into three categories: ExtraFancy, Fancy and NumberOne. This third-class coffee is produced both on the estate and under natural conditions. Most of the coffee marketed as "Kona" contains less than 5% real Hawaiian Kona coffee. Another good Hawaiian coffee can be found in the United States-Kai Farms.
