Introduction to the flavor and taste characteristics of American Hawaiian Kona coffee in Latin America

Hawaiian coffee is the only top variety produced in 50 states in the United States, and the United States is naturally its largest market.

Hawaii's coffee industry has to compete with the expanding tourism industry. Most coffee is grown on the slopes of Mauna Loa. Mauna Loa was originally a volcano located in the western part of the Kona region on the island of Hawaii. The coffee producing area is about 30 kilometers long and its growing areas are mainly concentrated in the north and south of the area. Coffee trees are planted in relatively desolate areas, but their soil is fertile and contains volcanic ash. Although it takes a lot of physical labor to start planting and it is difficult to manage, it is comforting that Kona's coffee trees (at least those growing above 90 meters above sea level) do not seem to be affected by any diseases and insect pests.

Although Hawaii is often affected by tornadoes, the climatic conditions are very suitable for the coffee industry. There is plenty of rain and sunshine here, and there is no worry of frost. In addition, there is a strange natural phenomenon called "free shade". On most days, at about two 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 the Arabian coffee in the Kona region produce more coffee than any other plantation in the world, and always maintain high quality.

For example, in Latin America, it produces 560,900 hectares per hectare, while in Kona it produces 2240 kilograms per hectare. To the displeasure of coffee fans, only about 1400 hectares of coffee are produced. Real Kona coffee is indeed a treasure in the world and is not easy to find. The best Kona coffee is divided into three grades: Extra Fancy, Fancy and Number One. This third-class coffee is produced on manors and under natural conditions. Most of the coffee that calls itself "Kona" now contains less than 5% of the real Hawaiian Kona coffee. Another good Hawaiian coffee can be found in the United States-Hawaii Kaj Farm Coffee.
