1828 was the year that Kona Coffee was introduced into the Kona Islands by a Reverend Samuel Ruggles. As agricultural commodity, it was not considered at that time to be a viable enterprise. With the California gold rush, this was all to change and put a need in the market for coffee from farmers of this region. The large estates on the Kona islands were leased from the local farmers to their Japanese workers during the worldwide coffee market crash in 1899. During the history of kona coffee about 600 plantations from the district were farming coffee on small farms of around 5 acres in size.
From this original planting, coffee trees were introduced to the different farms across the Islands, including the now famous Kona Coast. But there is something particularly exceptional and different about the Kona coffee beans produced which has earned Kona coffee a global reputation for excellence and decadence. The difference can and is found in the precision with which Kona coffee is harvested. The coffee from this region is handpicked, to make sure that only the very 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 often a clear difference 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 mixture of the weather, both moist and dry give Hawaiian Kona Coffee it’s striking exotic and fragrant quality. Superiorly smooth-bodied, pleasant acidity, delicately aromatic, this seductive mixture produces a strong taste that is certainly recognized across the world 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 tainted the reputation of the truly excellent and real kona coffee by selling the name and by selling coffee that is just not truly Kona. Many of these counterfeit blends are sold under the name “Kona Coffee” yet they only have 10% of Kona and ninety percent 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 regarding the quality of pure Kona coffee. It seems to be and still is an ongoing loosing battle for these farmers that have been involved in fighting so as to trademark the name “Pure Kona Coffee”.
