Coffee in Hawaii

  Presently, the coffee is produced in large quantities from the islands of Kauai, Molokai and Lanai. It is harvested, meeting qualifications by the State of Hawaii, in a machine that cultivates harvests with compression and artificial heat. Small heat rotations are done for one pound (450 grams). For over 150 years, the famous Kona Coffee has been harvested for the rich taste and fragrance which is rarely provided by other coffees.

Coffee Blend

  Kona Coffee can only be legally recognized if there is 10% of Kona Coffee within the blend. Most blends from Brazil, Indonesia, Africa and other Central American regions, have beans with a lower quality, and produce a low quality blend . Kona Coffee serves high quality blends.

  Green Kona Coffee beans (before roast) are almost six times the price of other foreign coffee beans. The price of Kona Coffee, after it has been roasted, is sold at a price one-third the the amount of most foreign roast coffees (in which some contain Kona Coffee). A company that markets a "Kona Blend" in its roast can obtain almost six times the level of profits as other coffee brands since it blends a lower quality roast. The next time you look for quality Kona Coffee, make sure it's 100% pure Kona Coffee.
