Kona coffee, Arabica, beautiful appearance, average neat bean shape, clear taste, medium mellow, slightly sour taste, strong aroma and long aftertaste. Kona coffee is divided into four grades, namely Extra Fancy, Fancy, Prime and Gr.No.1. 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.

The excellent quality of Kona coffee benefits from the suitable geographical location and climate. Coffee trees grow on the slopes of volcanoes and the volcanic ash soil is fertile. The climate is 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, 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. Because of the suitable natural conditions, the average yield of Kona coffee is very high, reaching 2240 kg per hectare, while in Latin America, the yield of coffee per hectare is only 600kg ~ 900kg.

The raw beans of Kona coffee are usually small packaged coffee beans. Kona coffee is also often used to make blended coffee along with other coffee beans. Kona beans mixed with other beans will be marked with "KonaBlend" on the package. Unfortunately, the content of Kona beans in this mixed bean may be very low, and the minimum content of Kona beans in Hawaii that can use the "Kona" label is only 10%.
