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.

How To Brew The Best Kona Coffee At Home

Kona coffee is a premium and in demand coffee roast because of its coveted growing conditions. Kona coffee is grown in Hawaii, which is the only location in the United States to harvest coffee. Hawaii is full of tropical climates, humidity, and fertile volcanic soil, which makes it the perfect environment to grow superior coffee beans.

Kona coffee is somewhat more expensive, but it is definitely worth the investment because of the rich and authentic flavors that it will have to offer! If you are brewing your Kona coffee on your home coffee maker, we recommend that you use fresh and cold water, and then remove the coffee pot from the coffee maker immediately after brewing. Pour your fresh coffee into a thermal carafe or sealed thermos to keep the coffee hot and fresh. This is the best way to serve your premium Kona brew because it will prevent it from sitting on the burner of your coffee machine and becoming bitter or burnt tasting.
