Hawaii Kona, one of the most sought after gourmet coffees in the world

The Arabica coffee plant was brought from Brazil to West Hawaii in the 1820s by Samuel Ruggles. It happened in the sunny Kona District, which stretches 60 miles from Kona Airport to Kealakekua Bay on Hawaii Island’s volcanic west coast. The climate for growing coffee is ideal here. Throughout the year you have sunny mornings, gloomy afternoons, an evenly warm temperature and regular rain showers. It is said that nowhere else do coffee plants have such ideal growing conditions as in the Kona area. And it is precisely these advantages that you can enjoy at this Hawaii Kona coffee. It comes from two farms near the town of Captain Cook.

Coffee plants are grown in a 100-year tradition in near-natural orchards and forest gardens in shade tree crops, in an ecologically and economically sustainable way. The diverse nature is home to a large number of native bird species, which are also responsible for natural pest control. The coffee beans are harvested one by one by hand, the pulp is removed, washed and dried in the Hawaiian sun – this is how one of the most popular gourmet coffees in the world, Hawaii Kona Coffee, is developed.
