The earliest coffee cultivation in Hawaii had adopted the model of large-scale coffee plantations, and at that time, coffee had not yet become a widely grown crop in the world, and the production and sale of Kona coffee had experienced several ups and downs. After the outbreak of World War I, the demand for coffee increased sharply, and the government bought a lot of coffee for soldiers in order to maintain their combat ability. the rise in demand led to a rise in prices, and Kona coffee was no exception. The period from the outbreak of World War I to 1928 was the golden age of Kona Coffee. But the Great Depression that followed dealt a heavy blow to Kona Coffee. In 1940, the second World War caused the price of coffee to rise again. In order to avoid excessive price increases, the US government set a price cap for coffee. Even so, coffee farmers in Hawaii still got a lot of benefits. During this period, their means of transportation for transporting coffee fruits were all changed from donkeys to jeeps. Hawaii's tourism industry is developed, and tourists can visit coffee farms. See with your own eyes or participate in various processes such as coffee harvest, coffee bean processing, baking and grinding, and make a cup of coffee that really belongs to you. 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 comfortable and warm shops and comprehensive centers to introduce coffee knowledge.

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 "kona blend" (no more than 5 per cent of Kona beans). Neighboring islands such as maui, kauai and molokai have also begun to grow coffee commercially.
