Hawaii Kona Coffee Culture Festival: is Kona Coffee over-sought after and evaluated?

Hawaiian coffee

Kona coffee beans from Hawaii have the perfect appearance, and their fruit is extremely full and shiny. The taste of coffee is rich and aromatic, with cinnamon flavor, and the acidity is well balanced. Hawaiian coffee is the only top variety produced in 50 states in the United States, and the United States is naturally its largest market.

Kona coffee is grown on the slopes of Mauna Roa volcano on the southwest coast of Hawaii. In terms of flavor, Kona beans are closer to Central American coffee than Indonesian coffee. Its average quality is very high, carefully handled, medium texture, good sour taste, very rich flavor, and fresh Kona coffee is extremely fragrant. If you think your coffee is too thick, African coffee is too sour, Central and South American coffee is too rough, then "Kona" may be suitable for you. Kona is like a girl in the Hawaiian sunshine breeze, fresh and natural.

Kona coffee beans are average and neat in shape, with strong sour and sweet taste, moist and smooth taste. Because they grow on volcanoes and have high-density artificial farming, each bean can be said to be a spoiled "lady" with beautiful, plump and baby-like skin.

Although Hawaii is often affected by tornadoes, the climatic conditions are very suitable for the coffee industry. There is plenty of rain and sunshine, and there is no worry of frost. In addition, there is a strange natural phenomenon called "free shade". On most days, around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, white clouds appear in the sky, providing the necessary shade for the coffee trees. In fact, it is such superior natural conditions that make Arabica coffee in the Kona region produce more coffee than any other plantation in the world, and always maintain high quality, unique growth and climate environment to create a stronger coffee flavor.

But to the regret of coffee fans, only about 1400 hectares of coffee is produced. And because of Hawaii's high income and a large number of tourists, Kona coffee is so expensive that it is even sold as "konablend" (no more than 5 per cent of Kona beans). Neighboring islands such as maui, kauai and molokai have also begun to grow coffee commercially.
