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.

Introduction to the classification of Kona production area

Kona (kona)

Kona production area is located in the Big Island, the most famous production area in Hawaii, world-famous. Coffee beans have a perfect appearance, and his fruit is extremely full.

The luster is bright, the coffee taste is rich and fragrant, and has the cinnamon spice flavor, the acidity is also balanced moderate, is the world treasure.

At present, the common Hawaiian coffee on the market, in addition to the kona district of the Big Island, including Maui, Cafu Island, and lovely Island, all have coffee estates on display. The common Hawaiian coffee includes different varieties such as Typica, Mocca and Catuai.

The most expensive coffee on the market: Kona Coffee

However, Kona Coffee is still one of the most expensive coffee on the market, and according to Hawaiian Agriculture Department regulations, coffee can only be called Kona Coffee on the slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Loa in Big Island, Kona. Hawaiian sunny mornings, cloudy and rainy afternoons, light breezes and mild nights, coupled with mineral-rich volcanic soil, give it a special flavor.

Kona Coffee can be divided into two categories: Type I (flat bean) and Type II pill bean (Peaberry).

According to the size, water content and purity of bean seeds, Type 1 is divided into 'Kona Extra Fancy',' Kona Fancy', 'Kona Number 1,' Kona Select', and 'Kona Prime'; Type II Kona coffee are divided into' Peaberry Number 1 'and' Peaberry Prime';, and a lower grade of 'Number 3' is not called Kona Coffee.

Kona Coffee's biggest threat in recent years comes from pests caused by the coffee pulp borer (Hypothenemus hampei). In late November 2010, the Hawaiian Department of Agriculture announced that all raw beans must be fumigated with methane bromide or another six-step procedure before leaving the island.

I'm afraid there will be huge fluctuations in the output and price of coffee in Kona producing areas in the future. Because of this, coffee farmers in lovely Island, Cafu Island and Maui Island have gradually emerged in the past two years.
