Hawaiian Coffee Beans: The U.S.’s Only Coffee-Growing Region

Most coffee drinkers in the U.S. have never thought about where coffee is actually grown within America’s borders. The answer? Nowhere else but Hawaii — the only state in the union with the right mix of climate, elevation, and volcanic soil to support commercial coffee cultivation. But even there, coffee only thrives on one major island: Hawaii Island, often called the Big Island. If you’ve ever wondered whether any coffee is really grown in the United States, the answer is yes — and here’s exactly where, why, and how.
