All About Kona Coffee
If you are interested in Kona coffee from Hawaii, here are a few fun facts to keep in mind:
•
Kona coffee grown in Hawaii is a major part of the agriculture within this state, grossing up to 37 million on a yearly basis.
• In only the Kona region of Hawaii, there are over 630 farms producing coffee.
• Hawaii is the only state in the United States to produce a coffee crop.
• If coffee in Hawaii is made into a blend, it is required by law to advertise this fact on the packaging.
• However, if Kona coffee is blended in the mainland United States, it is not held subject to the same laws.
• Kona coffee is grown in Hawaii as a specialty coffee, mainly due to the high cost of living of the farmers that must produce a more expensive crop than other coffees on the market to compete.

Might want to add that the higher costs result mostly from hand- versus machine picking. Plus the limited available land of the Kona coffee growing region. Climatic, soil conditions are ideal for arabica coffee and most pesticides and herbicides being used on coffee worldwide are simply not allowed in the USA. No child labor, no below minimum wage labor are happening. All that makes the Kona coffee exceptional, not only in taste but also for the consciousness.
Thank you for the valuable input! With all of those factors in mind, Kona coffee is definitely worth the higher price.
