Kona coffee beans, which are grown in the Kona area of Hawaii, are a rare species that can only be grown on volcanic slopes. In addition to its beautiful scenery, Hawaii, a beautiful tropical Pacific island, also produces the famous Kona coffee. Kona Coffee is famous because its main producing areas are located in the south and north of the main island and the slopes of the Mauna Loa volcano. This variety is one of the most expensive coffee in the world, and only coffee produced in Kona can be called "Kona Coffee". In addition, the southwest coast of Hawaii Island, 20 miles long, 2 miles wide, 150m-750m above sea level, covers the slopes of the Hualalai (Lalai) and Mauna Loa (Mauna Loa) volcano areas grown and strictly certified coffee beans can be sold under the trademark Kona. As the output of coffee beans is decreasing day by day, the price is close to that of Blue Mountain Coffee. The strip along the coast of Kona produces the best coffee in the world, and the output is also among the highest in the world. Kona can still produce 2 million pounds of coffee beans a year on less than 2600 acres of coffee.

The Kona Coffee, which is popular in the world, is born in the special climate of Hawaii. The elevation of the Kona area is about 600m, but because the climate belongs to the maritime climate, its climatic conditions are similar to those of the 1200m elevation in the Central American region. the mountains are rainy and much cooler than peacefully. Although Hawaii is often affected by tornadoes, the climatic conditions are very suitable for the coffee industry. In addition, Hawaii has plenty of rainfall and sunshine, and there is no worry of frost. The climate is very suitable, the sun in the morning 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. Suitable natural conditions make the average yield of Kona coffee very high, up to 2240 kg per hectare, coupled with fertile land and fine management of farmers, making coffee suitable for growing climate. Make Kona coffee a boutique in the market.
