What is Kona coffee?

Kona Coffee is a type of coffee grown in Kona districts on a large island in Hawaii. This coffee is protected by law and ensures that only coffee grown in a particular region can be sold as a "coffee" and is a highly valuable gourmet coffee that can get a very high price in the open market. This coffee is known to have a permanently high quality, and for strict measures to control the quality used in Hawaii to ensure that only the most beautiful coffee is sold under the label. Plants are intensively managed, with many farms to manually harvest beans in several cycles to get fruit when it is at an optimal level of maturity. Farmers may choose to process their own "icing", fruit of coffee plants, or can connect their cherries with other farmers in a larger processing facility that can handle drying and baking beans.

Type I coffee is made of cherry that has developed with two seeds, and is divided into a series of degrees based on KVAlita. Kona type II is a cherry with a single seed, rather than the more common two and is also known as Peaberry. It is also divided into several degrees based on quality. Smaller class, type III, cannot be sold under Kona brand.

Because coffee Kona can be very expensive, it is not uncommon for companies to sell KONA mixtures. The mixture is produced with a small percentage of KONA coffee and a larger percentage of cheaper beans. At least 10% of the mixture can be Kona coffee and the quality of such mixtures may vary significantly depending on the amount of beans from the KONA used and cheaper beans used to fill the mixture.

Coffee has been grown in Hawaii since the 1930s. The Konská climate is particularly suitable for coffee and coffee from this region has very high quality for a very long time. There are several grower associations that protect coffee coffee, promote coffee production on Hawaii and regulate quality to ensure that the name Kona BUde continues to be associated with the quality of coffee. These organizations have proposed a number of logs that are used to identify Kona coffee for consumers.
