Enjoy the Authentic Kona Coffee

It was in 1828 that Kona Coffee was introduced in the Kona Islands by a Reverend Samuel Ruggles. At the time, its value as an agricultural commodity was not considered to be worthwhile. With the onset of the California gold rush, this was all about to change and put a demand on the market for coffee from the coffee farmers of the Kona Region of Hawaii. The large estates on the Kona islands were leased by the local farmers to their Japanese workers during the world coffee market crash in 1899. Throughout the history of kona coffee about 600 plantations in the district were farming coffee on small farms of around 5 acres in size.



Starting with the original planting, coffee trees were introduced to the different farms around the Islands, including the now famous Kona Coast. But you can find something particularly exceptional and different about the Kona coffee beans produced which has earned Kona coffee a global status for excellence and decadence. The difference can and is seen in the attention with which Kona coffee is harvested. The coffee from the Kona region is handpicked, to ensure that only the best quality berries are harvested for kona coffee production.



The Kona Coffee region in Hawaii reaches across 900 acres, high on Mauna Loa's volcanic mountain slopes. There is usually a clear distinction between the rainy and dry seasons. The Plantations where Kona Coffee is cultivated are bathed in clear crystal water, cooled by Pacific trade winds. The mix of the weather, both moist and dry give Hawaiian Kona Coffee it's outstanding exotic and aromatic quality. Superiorly smooth-bodied, pleasant acidity, delicately aromatic, this seductive mixture produces a strong taste that is popular internationally as being an all round favorite.



The is demand is high for Kona coffee due to the uniqueness of the taste and excellence. Individuals and large corporations have tarnished the reputation of this truly excellent and real kona coffee by selling the name and by selling coffee that is not truly Kona. Many of the counterfeit blends are sold under the name "Kona Coffee" yet they only have 10% of Kona and 90% of coffee brought in from other countries, including cheaper imports from Colombia or Brazil.



There are actually labelling laws in Hawaii, but there is no corresponding Federal law to support it. So lots of damage is done to the reputation of the Kona industry, and that provides a a negative impression to the consumers of the quality of pure Kona coffee. It appears to be and still is an ongoing loosing battle for all farmers that have been fighting to trademark the name "Pure Kona Coffee".
