Hawaiian Kona coffee is called one of the top three coffee beans in the world alongside Blue Mountain and Kilimanjaro. Its output is less than 1% of the world coffee output, which can be called Yulu grade coffee. It is also the coffee served by the president of the United States for state guests. Growing up in the unique environment of Hawaiian beaches, monsoons and volcanoes, it creates a perfect flavor, fresh, crisp, medium mellow, slightly sour, with strong aromas and a long finish. Kona Coffee has a blend of wine, fruit and spices, as fascinating as the colorful colors of this volcanic archipelago.

The position of Kona Coffee in the international market is second only to Blue Mountain Coffee of Jamaica. After entering the 21st century, due to the media hype, its market recognition is rising year by year, and the market buying and selling grade can be divided into Extra Fancy, Fancy, Prime, etc., and Pear Bean is a single package of beans (also known as pill beans). Because each bean contains a high content of coffee, so when brewing coffee, the amount of coffee beans is only 80% of the amount of normal beans.

Characteristics.

Kona coffee, Arabica, beautiful appearance, average neat bean shape, clear taste, medium mellow, slightly sour taste, strong aroma and long aftertaste. Kona coffee has a strict grading standard, Extra Fancy 19 mesh KONA is the highest grade, and the annual output is the lowest, and there is no more than a manor can have, followed by Fancy (17-18 items), and then KONA # 1, which is just the opposite of Blue Mountain Coffee. If anyone comes to say that I want to buy the best Kona No. 1 coffee, it will probably be laughed at by the locals. Hawaiian Kona coffee beans, which are outside these grades, are collectively referred to as Hawaiian coffee and cannot be called 100% pure Kona. Due to low production and high production costs, in the case of increasing demand for boutique coffee, the price of Kona on the market is catching up with the Blue Mountain of Jamaica, and the best Kona beans are becoming more and more difficult to buy.
