Introduction to the production method of Hawaiian Coffee Flavor description production

Hawaii's coffee industry has to compete with the expanding tourism industry. Most coffee is grown on the slopes of MaunaLoa. 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.

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: ExtraFancy, Fancy and NumberOne. This third-class coffee is produced on manors and under natural conditions. Most of the coffee on the market that calls itself "Kona" contains less than 5% of the real Hawaiian Kona coffee. Another good kind of Hawaiian coffee can be found in the United States-Hawaii Kaj Farm Coffee (KaiFarms). Visitors can visit the coffee farm, see or participate in various processes such as coffee harvest, bean processing, roasting and grinding, and make a cup of coffee that really belongs to them. In the Kona region, there are about 600 independent coffee farms, most of which are small family farms, usually between 18 and 42 acres. Kona Coffee earns more than $10 million a year for these coffee farms.

Kona coffee has always been grown at home. At first, only men were allowed to work in the coffee garden, and later women joined in. This kind of family production of Hawaiians preferred to rely on the efforts of their families rather than hiring workers to work, so it was normal for Hawaiians to have eight or nine children at that time. Since then, new immigrants from the Philippines, the United States and Europe have come to Hawaii to engage in the coffee industry. Over time, Hawaii has formed a social atmosphere that centers on family culture and is easy to absorb foreign cultures. and make it a major feature of Hawaii.

Hawaii is also a paradise for tasting and buying coffee. Each island has several unique places for tourists and local residents to taste and buy coffee, including cozy shops and an integrated center for coffee knowledge. Hawaii is the only state in the United States that grows coffee beans. Coffee beans are mainly grown on five islands, and about 580 coffee farmers grow about 6800 acres of coffee, with an annual output value of about $10.4 million. Experts estimate that Hawaii is likely to double its current annual coffee bean production of 4 million pounds in the next decade.

Of the five islands in Hawaii, Kaua'i has the largest coffee production, with 4000 acres, Big Island second with 1800 acres, Moloka'i third with 550acres, and the rest from Maui and O'ahu.
