Introduction to Hawaiian Kona Coffee in the United States, which is engaged in coffee growing.

Hawaii's earliest settlers arrived in 300 - 400 AD, and historians speculate that they came from the Marquesas Islands. The people lived on the island in separate tribes led by hereditary chiefs. The earliest Hawaiian inhabitants created Hawaii's rich musical culture, although not much writing survives.

The Europeans discovered Hawaii by accident. They were originally looking for a legendary passage to the east to produce spices, but instead they found the richest pearl in the Pacific Ocean. A captain named James Cook landed at Kauai in 1778 to supply his ships. He encountered severe cold and storms on his way back, and had to return to Hawaii early the following year and anchor on a beach in Kona. Since then, the Hawaiian Islands have become important stopovers on the world trade routes. Hawaii's chiefs traded sandalwood, a native of the island, for weapons, goods and livestock with passing ships. From the 1820s, Western religion began to spread widely on the island, and many churches built in that era are still in use today.

Hawaii tourism is developed, visitors can visit coffee farms, see or hands-on coffee harvest, coffee beans processing, roasting and grinding and other processes, and make a cup of coffee that really belongs to themselves. There are about 600 independent coffee farms in the Kona area, most of which are small family farms, usually between 18 and 42 acres. Kona coffee can bring in more than $10 million a year to these coffee farms.

Kona coffee has always been grown using the family farming model. At first, only men were allowed to work in the coffee garden, but later women joined in. Hawaiian family production was more dependent on family effort than on hiring workers, so it was normal for Hawaiian families to have eight or nine children. Since then, new immigrants from the Philippines, the United States and Europe have come to Hawaii to engage in coffee farming. Over time, Hawaii has formed a social atmosphere centered on family culture and easy to absorb foreign culture, which has become a major feature of Hawaii.

Hawaii is also a paradise for coffee tasting and buying. Each island has several unique places for tourists and locals to taste and buy coffee, ranging from cozy shops to comprehensive coffee knowledge centers. Real Hawaiian Kona coffee gives you a unique pleasure and leads you slowly into the transcendent state of coffee tasting. And this is all from the oldest Arabica coffee tree.

Hawaii is the only state in the United States to grow coffee, which is grown on the five main islands of the Hawaiian archipelago: Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Kauai and Mauroka. Coffee produced on different islands also has its own characteristics. Coffee from Kauai is soft and smooth, coffee from Mauroka is high in alcohol and low in acidity, and coffee from Maui is medium in acidity but has the strongest flavor. Hawaiians are proud of their 100% indigenous Arabica coffee beans.

Hawaii is the largest island in the Hawaiian Islands, so it is also called the Big Island. Kona coffee is grown in the west and south of Kona area of Hawaii Island. Coffee trees are spread all over the slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Loa, which are 150 meters to 750 meters above sea level, which is suitable for coffee growth.

The excellent quality of Kona coffee is due to its location and climate. Coffee trees grow on the slopes of volcanoes, and their geographical location ensures the altitude required for coffee growth; the dark volcanic ash soil provides the minerals needed for coffee growth; the climatic conditions are very suitable, and the sun gently passes through the air filled with moisture in the morning. In the afternoon, the mountains become more humid and foggy, and the clouds in the air are natural umbrellas for coffee trees. At night, they become clear and cool, but there is no frost. Natural conditions allow for high average yields of 2240 kg/ha compared to 600 - 900 kg/ha in Latin America
