History of Coffee cultivation in Hawaii

On Francisco de Paula Marin recorded in his journal in 1813 that he had grown coffee on the island of Oahu. The planting plan failed, but in 1825, Boki, the mayor of Oahu, brought coffee to Hawaii through a British warship called H.M.S. Blonde. The ship returned to Hawaii carrying the bodies of King Kamehameha and Queen Kamamalu, who died of measles in London during an official visit. Mayor Boki, who was in charge of the funeral, took coffee trees from Rio de Janeiro and shipped them back to Hawaii during his voyage. Coffee was first grown in the Manoa Valley valley of Oahu, and then slowly extended to other parts of Oahu and its neighboring islands. In 1828, the Reverend Samuel Ruggles planted coffee in the Naole area (now Captain Cook), above Kealakekua Bay on the Kona Coast coastline. These coffee trees grow luxuriantly because of moderate altitude, fertile soil and constant cloud cover over the years. The land is gradually increasing, and the local coffee is also more famous than other places. At that time, the export of coffee in Hawaii was mainly carried out by whale replenishment ships and merchant ships. In 1860, when the whale replenishment industry declined, Hawaiian coffee lost its main market. In 1870, sugar became a staple crop in Hawaii, and the market on the west coast gradually expanded to become a market between Hawaii and the United States. Move forward! To Honolulu from 1800 to 1900, Maui was an important stop for coffee ships to load and unload. Mara Wharf (Mala Wharf) is one of the main stops for ships sailing from the port of the old town of Kailua to the busy seaport of Honolulu. These ships tend to carry not only coffee, but also pineapples made by Baldwin canners who are engaged in canned packaging. This is where the present-day Lahaina cannery shopping center is located.

Hawaiian coffee is the only top variety produced in the 50 states of the United States. Because the planting area of coffee on the island is very small.

The annual output and limited quantity of coffee beans produced in Hawaii are of good quality. As a result, the price of coffee beans produced in this area will be higher than that of other coffee-growing countries.

Most coffee is grown on the slopes of Mauna Loa, where the soil is fertile and contains volcanic ash.

The pleasant climate of Hawaii is very suitable for growing coffee trees. There is plenty of rain and sunshine here, and there is no worry about frost.

Coupled with the natural peculiar phenomenon of "free shade" (freeshade) in this area, it provides the necessary shade for coffee trees.

With such superior natural conditions, the yield of Arabian coffee in Kona is higher than that of other plantations and has always maintained high quality.
