Hawaii's most famous coffee bean and coffee producing area is Kona kona, which is located in the southwest of the Big Island, 20 miles long and 2 miles wide, covering the slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Loa. Only coffee beans grown in this area and subject to the most stringent certification standards can be sold under the trademark Kona. Today, about 100 farms have produced coffee beans that meet these standards, and more and more farms are expected to follow suit in the future. The Hawaiian Islands have long been recognized as a paradise on earth, and after nearly two centuries of efforts to grow coffee, the term Kona kona is almost synonymous with quality.

Although Hawaii is often affected by tornadoes, the climatic conditions are very suitable for the coffee industry. There is plenty of rain and sunshine here, and there is no worry of frost. In addition, there is a strange natural phenomenon called free shade (freeshade). On most days, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, white clouds appear in the sky, providing the necessary shade for the coffee trees. In fact, it is such superior natural conditions that make the Arabian coffee in the Kona region produce more coffee than any other plantation in the world and maintain high quality. For example, 560 kilograms of coffee per hectare are produced in Latin America and 2240 kilograms per hectare in Kona. Only about 1400 hectares produce Kona coffee.

Coffee trees are grown commercially on all the islands of Hawaii, but at present, the Big Island has the largest number of coffee farms, about 650, but these coffee farms are relatively small, adding up to less than 2000 acres of plantation woodland, while only 25 coffee farms are operating on the islands of Maui, Molokai, Oahu and Kauai. However, the coffee plantations in these places are much larger than those on the big island, and the total output is more than three times that of the big island coffee garden. Surprisingly, Kauai Island has the largest coffee-growing area of any island, with more than 4000 acres, but all are managed by the same operator, while Molokai Island has only 550 acres of coffee-growing land, with even fewer Maui and Oahu. Most Hawaiian coffee farmers still pick fresh coffee cherries to sell today, but in recent years more and more people are committed to adding value to their coffee bean products, so they mostly go to their own post-processing, drying, grinding and baking their own coffee beans.

The characteristics of Hawaiian coffee:

Kona coffee beans from Hawaii have the perfect appearance. Their fruit is extraordinarily full and shiny. The taste of coffee is rich and aromatic, with cinnamon flavor, and the acidity is well balanced.

The best Kona coffee is divided into three grades: ExtraFancy, Fancy and NumberOne. This third-class coffee is produced on manors and under natural conditions. Most of the coffee that calls itself "Kona" now contains less than 5% of the real Hawaiian Kona coffee. Another good Hawaiian coffee can be found in the United States-Hawaiian Kaj Farm Coffee (KaiFarms). Real Kona coffee is indeed a treasure in the world and is not easy to find.

Flavor: smooth, fragrant, with attractive nutty aromas

Suggested baking method: mild to moderate baking

★★★: excellent
