When it comes to Hawaii in the United States, the first thing that comes to mind is a resort. Maybe you don't know, it is also a famous coffee producing area.

Hawaii is the only place where coffee is produced in the United States. for a long time, Jamaica's Blue Mountain Coffee and Hawaiian Kona Coffee are recognized as a king in the coffee industry and are famous all over the world.

The ● Hawaiian Islands are formed by volcanic eruptions. Hawaii is the largest island, so it is also known as the theBigIsland. The island has two active volcanoes with a mild and pleasant climate all the year round and a forest cover of nearly 50%. One of the most famous and traditional Hawaiian coffee grown in volcanic ash soil is produced on the island of Kona Kona on the southwest coast of Hawaii: Hawaiian Kona.

The excellent quality of Kona coffee benefits from the suitable geographical location and climate. Coffee trees grow on the slopes of volcanoes, and their geographical location ensures the altitude needed for coffee growth; the dark volcanic ash soil provides the minerals needed for coffee growth. The climatic conditions are very suitable. In the morning, the sun gently passes through the air full of water vapor. In the afternoon, the mountains will become more humid and foggy, and the white clouds surging in the air are natural umbrellas for coffee trees. And the evening will become sunny and cool, but there is no Frosts Descent. This unique natural conditions create the unique flavor of Kona coffee, not too strong, not particularly sour, full of pleasant wine aroma.

● Hawaiian Kona Coffee grading criteria:

The highest level of ExtraFancy (19) ➡ is followed by Fancy (17-18) ➡ Prime ➡ and finally KONA # 1 (NumberOne).

This is the opposite of Blue Mountain Coffee, so if you go to Hawaii to buy Kona No. 1 coffee, you 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.

Most of the coffee on the market that calls itself "Kona" contains less than 5% of the real Hawaiian Kona coffee. Even if you go to Hawaii, it's hard to buy a real Kona, so be sure to carefully tell whether it's 100% Kona or KonaBlend. Of course, it can also be distinguished by the price. If it is only a little more expensive than regular coffee, it is unlikely to be a real Kona.

●, why don't we sell rare coffee?

Some coffee is expensive just because the output is scarce, not because it tastes good.

Drinking coffee is very subjective. You don't necessarily think that expensive coffee tastes good.

Because of the high price, the circulation is slow, and the freshness can not be guaranteed.

In short, we think that coffee is a necessity in life, should be easy to get, this is the value of coffee.

However, we will still provide a small batch of rare coffee order customization service, so that everyone can have a taste, that's all.
