Kona Coffee is Hawaii?s Hidden Gem

One of the most popular coffees in the world is Kona coffee. If you have never tasted it, you’ll be surprised to find out that even non-coffees drinkers find Kona coffee delightful. Hailing from the Big Island of Hawaii, it was brought there in the nineteenth century by Brazillian explorers. Today, you can find hundreds of small coffee farms in Hawaii that grow this glorious bean. In fact, it is so popular, there are even different types of Kona coffee, with the most popular being the peaberry version. You can decipher peaberry from the rest by its small coffee beans.
You may find that you may have to go through a small expense to have Kona coffee delivered straight to your door, and if you are serious about Kona coffee, you might as well do it right. If you decide to go down this path, it is strongly recommended that you buy the beans and not the pre-ground coffee. While it may be more convenient, the beans truly maintain much more of their flavor and aroma if they are consumed immediately after they are ground. It is strongly recommended to only grind one press full at a time, as that is about the capacity for consumption over the course of the day, and pressing anything more than one day in advance is a recipe for stale coffee.
If you’re looking to use a coffee press to make your coffee, you put the coffee in the bottom and pour hot water into the jar. Let it brew for a minimum of 4-5 minutes, then push down on the plunger. This filters the coffee, keeping the ground near the bottom of the press. At a tiny price of $30, you can’t go wrong with purchasing one of these at the store.
Getting back to Kona coffee: if you do decide to buy it, be sure it is 100% pure Kona, and not a Kona blend. Blends are exactly that: a little bit of Kona and a little bit of something else. Usually the something else is very cheap, sometimes stale, coffee. Lastly, if you’ve never tried Kona before, it is recommended that you purchase an 8oz. bag to start. This way, if you do not like the taste (God knows why), you will not be heavily invested.

What is the best Kona Coffee in Hawaii?
Hello,
For gift baskets, I am trying to purchase 2 oz gift packs of Kona coffee. Can anyone recommend a coffee company/plantation in Hawaii that produces the best Kona coffee in Hawaii. I am looking a pure Kona coffee not a blend.
The company MUST be Hawaiian since these gift baskets are Hawaiian themed.
Thanks
Thanks Lori

Hawaii have a great coffee gourmet "Kona Coffee", it grown only on the island of Hawaii. The Kona Coffee cultivated on the slopes of Mount Hualalai and Mauna Loa in the North and South Kona Districts of the Big Island of Hawaii. Kona coffee blooms in February and March. Small white flowers cover the tree and are known as Kona Snow. In April, green berries begin to appear on the trees. By late August, red fruit, called "cherry" because of the resemblance of the ripe berry to a cherry fruit, start to ripen for picking. Each tree will be hand-picked several times between August and January, and provides around 20-30 pounds of cherry. Special care is taken throughout the process of creating the Kona coffee bean. The sunny mornings, cloud-covered rainy afternoons and mild nights create an ideal growing condition for the best Kona coffee.
This hard-packed volcanic rock, the near-perfect weather conditions, and the absence of disease give the coffee trees in the Kona area the highest yield of coffee beans in the world. Naturally, these Hawaiian Kona coffee beans are of superior quality. The Kona coffee arabica tree, a relative of the gardenia, is characterized by glossy, dark green leaves and fragrant white blooms. The Hawaiian Kona bean has a very aromatic scent and a sweet taste that is quite noticeable from the bland coffees available in the supermarkets. Once brewed, Kona has a superb aroma with a light, mild body and a clear, sweet, mellow flavor. The superior quality of Kona coffee also makes a delightful summer refreshment when served as an iced coffee.
One of the most important parts involved in making the coffee taste well is the harvesting and processing part of the job, that is where only the best Kona Coffee beans are picked and processed leaving only the finest to be sealed and shipped. A good roasting process can make a big difference in taste. Roasting is referred to as an “art form” by many in the trade.Just after roasting the oxidation process begins and coffee is at its freshest.

The Hawaiian Kona Coffee Mystique

Think Hawaii and basically you think vacation and paradise--sun, surf, beach, nature, luau, even honeymoon. For the coffee lover, Hawaii means real fancy coffee. Specifically, Hawaiian Kona coffee.
Hawaiian Kona coffee owes its aura of distinction to its history, tradition and Mother Nature. True Kona coffee are cultivated on the volcanic slopes of what is known as the Kona coffee belt. Combining the richness of the volcanic soil with the weather patterns of the Kona district and you have the perfect condition with which to grow this particular type of coffee bean. The result is one of the fanciest and premium coffees in the world.
The history and tradition of Kona coffee is unlike those of other coffee growing regions where the coffee shrub is indigenous and are cared for by their own people. Kona coffee can actually attribute its survival and existence to many different nationalities.
It was a Spaniard who planted the first coffee bean in the island of Oahu. Then, Kona coffee beans became a by-product of beans that were brought in from Brazil back in the nineteenth century by an Englishman. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the crash in world coffee prices almost drove the Hawaiian coffee farms into extinction. Owners leased parts of their farms to tenant farmers, majority of whom were Japanese immigrants. Later on, farm hands originating from the Philippines and Europe would contribute to the growth of this type of coffee. But even before the farms were leased, Hawaiians and Chinese largely made up the work force.
This brief historical account sets up the distinction that Kona coffee enjoys today. As a result of leasing out different parts of the original coffee farms, today's farms range anywhere from only two to five acres in size. Their small size may inhibit large scale production but the shrubs do receive more attention.
Being able to receive specialized care and its rarity are two main factors why Kona coffee commands a higher price. In fact, the specialized care that it receives includes hand picking each cherry from the coffee shrubs. This is in stark contrast to machine harvesting which is required in other kinds of large quantity farms. Hand picking each one gives the farmers a chance to examine up close the quality of the coffee cherries.
If your curiosity has so far been piqued and you are raring to buy your first bag of Kona coffee beans, here is a caveat--not all Kona coffee sold in the market are pure. When browsing the marketplace, you should be aware that there is "100% Kona coffee" as against "Kona blend". 100% Kona is quite self-explanatory. "Kona blend" is what you should be wary of.
There are vendors who mix Kona beans with common beans such as Robusta and the amount of Kona beans could be as little as one bean per pound. This is what is passed off as "Kona blend". Hawaii state law dictates that sellers of Kona blend should include 10% Kona beans. But outside of Hawaii, the amount of Kona beans could be significantly less.
Needless to say, there is also a disparity in pricing with 100% Kona being more expensive. If the price is objectionable, there is always the cheaper alternative--devoid of work ethic, culture, history, and tradition. But when you decide to go with the real thing, perhaps you can whisper a word of thanks to the generations of hard working farmers who have nurtured the 100% Kona coffee beans into the taste of paradise that it is today.

What is the best coffee in the world…Blue Mountain, Kona or Columbian?
I have consumed quite a bit of Blue Mountain, Kona & Columbian coffee. I'm partial to Blue Mountain, but only visit Jamaica once per year. I normally buy Columbian Supremo by Millstone, which is the best Columbian I have found. It's not easy to find good Kona coffee that's not a blend.
