Preferred by discerning coffee drinkers for its smooth, full-bodied flavor, Kona coffee is cultivated on the Big Island of Hawaii in the famous Kona Coffee Belt. While many imitators sell "Kona blends," these blends contain only 10 percent pure Kona beans. Experienced Kona growers control every step of the process, from the seed to the cup. Once you've enjoyed a cup of rich, 100-percent Kona, you'll understand why roasting this delicate bean is truly considered an art form.

Health Benefits of Kona Coffee
Pure enjoyment is the reason most people drink Kona, but there are also a number of health benefits associated with Hawaii's best cup.
- Antioxidant Power: Studies indicate that each cup of Hawaiian mountain coffee contains a variety of antioxidants, polyphenols and phyto-chemicals thought to enhance the immune system and reduce the occurrence of cancer.
- Brain and Nervous System Stimulation: Caffeine can enhance alertness, athletic performance and overall endurance.
- Lowered Diabetes and Parkinson's Risk: Harvard researchers found that drinking several cups of coffee a day lowered diabetes risk in both men and women. In addition, several studies have found that regular coffee drinkers are up to 80 percent less likely to develop Parkinson's-a debilitating auto-immune disease.
- Natural Headache Relief: Kona coffee contains enough caffeine to constrict blood vessels, which may reduce headache pain or even eliminate it altogether.

Order Kona Coffee Online
For those of us who do not have the pleasure of living on the Big Island, one of the only means of acquiring genuine Kona coffee is to purchase it online. Look for an online retailer that thoroughly explains their farm, grading system and care taken into producing the highest quality product, true to the culture and prestige surrounding Hawaii and the Kona region. Most retailers are very proud of their product and will gladly engage with you to answer your questions and make sure you are completely satisfied with your purchase. Some even provide coffee clubs or membership systems to ensure you never run out of your favorite coffee, with automatic replenishment programs and discount incentives.

I'm doing a research project on 100% Kona Coffee, and the costs for the restaurant business? Does anybody happen to work at an establishment that sells it (and if so, do you know how much the company purchases it for)? Thanks so much!

Kona coffee is a marketing name for coffee that comes from the Kona District of Hawaii. Pure Kona coffee is highly sought after all round the world. It has a richer flavor than others due to the location and environment they are cultivated.

The land of Hawaii is rich with volcanic soil and is perfect for coffee growing. The afternoon clouds also provide a good cover for it to grow. These factors give Kona coffee its character, loved by many around the world.

A Peek At History

The first coffee plant was introduced to Kealakekua-Kona by Reverend Samuel Ruggles in 1828. It was not considered a viable agricultural commodity at that time until very much later. During the California gold rush era, demand for coffee from this region starts to pick up and farmers start planting their crops along the slopes of Mauna Loa and Mount Hualalai. Many of the large estates were leased to their Japanese workers during the world coffee market crash in 1899. There are now about 600 plantations all around the district and each of them having a size of not more than 5 acres.

Coffee Farming & Process

The coffee plants in Kona will start to bloom from February to March. Green berries will soon start to appear after the flowers have been pollinated. Majority of the berries will be harvested from August to December or early January. It is estimated that each tree can produce around 20 to 30 pounds of berries.

During peak harvesting period, most mills work round the clock. All the berries will be processed within 24 hour time frame to maintain quality. The berries will be tested for freshness and color before being sent to the pulper. The pulper will strip the flesh leaving the beans. The flesh is transported back to the farms to be used as fertilizer. The stripped beans will next undergo a fermentation process of around 8 to 18 hours in giant tanks. After completing the fermentation process, the beans are cleaned and dried on drying racks covered by hoshidanas. Depending on the weather, it might take about 10 to 14 days before the Kona coffee beans are ready for the next process.

It is essential to constantly rake the beans during the drying phase. This is to prevent mildew from forming and maintain consistent quality throughout the batch. The beans are then graded according to size, shape and weight.

Controversial Kona

There is a high demand for Kona coffee due to its unique taste and quality. Many large corporations and individuals have tarnished the name by selling coffee that is not truly Kona. These blends are normally made up of only 10% Kona coffee and the remaining 90% from cheaper imports from Colombia or Brazil. It hurts the industry in Kona and gives a false impression to the consumers about the quality of pure Kona coffee. The farmers have been fighting a loosing battle to trademark the name. Even though there are labeling laws in Hawaii, there is no corresponding Federal law to support it.

Conclusion

There is no denying in the quality of Kona coffee. Great care is taken to ensure quality from the many who toil in the farms and mills to deliver you that perfect cup of beverage possible. They are all committed to deliver you the true taste of Kona - Gold of Hawaii.
