Introduction to the characteristics of Hawaiian Coffee Flavor description and the planting Environment of varieties

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, and in the afternoon, the mountains become more humid and foggy, and the clouds in the air are natural umbrellas for coffee trees, and at night they become clear and cool, but no frost falls. Natural conditions allow for high average yields of 2240 kg/ha compared to 600 - 900 kg/ha in Latin America

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's tourism industry is developed. Visitors can visit coffee farms, see or participate in various processes such as coffee harvesting, coffee bean processing, roasting and grinding, and make a cup of coffee that really belongs to them. 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.
