Hawaii Coffee Association (#)
„Kona Coffee Council, Kona Farmers Alliance, Kona Pacific Farmers Cooperative, Kona Farm Bureau, Hawaii Coffee Association, Hawaii Organic Farmers Association, Hawaii Genetic Engineering Action Network have resolved: “Hawaii State needs to provide Farmer Protection from GE coffee on Hawaii Island (no GE coffee field/greenhouse tests and no commercially grown GE coffee on Hawaii Island) and Biotech Industry Liability for GE coffee economic, environmental or health problems that may occur.” It was noted by Kauai Coffee that “Hawaii Island” should be changed to the “Hawaii Islands”.“

„Kona coffee is one of the most sought after coffees in the world. The best coffee in Hawaii is harvested on small farms on the slopes of Mount Loa above the Pacific and is wet-processed. The Hawaiian climate provides the perfect cloud cover to prevent the intense rays from the sun, creating what is called automatic shade. Coffee in Hawaii is often of the Typica cultivar. Interestingly, coffee in Hawaii is grown at a relatively low altitude which is said to produce an inferior tasting coffee. However, Hawaiian coffees often display the density, color, and acidity of high grown coffees. Quality is not necessarily a factor of the altitude, but more likely is a factor of how slowly the coffee is grown.“

Coffee From Around The World - National Coffee Association
„ Though coffee farms are found throughout the Hawaiian islands, it is Kona coffee, from the large island of Hawaii, that is best known and always in high demand. Nature provides just the right environment for the coffee trees growing on the slopes of the active Mauna Loa volcano. Young trees are planted in black, volcanic soil so new that it often seems the farmers are planting their seedlings in rock instead of soil. Afternoon shade from tropical clouds forms a natural canopy over the trees to protect them from intense sun. Frequent island showers keep the plants nourished with just the right amount of rain.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„Hawaiian Kona. The tiny Kona growing district on the southwest coast of Hawaii, the "Big Island" of the Hawaiian chain, produces the most famous and the most traditional of Hawaiian coffees. Entirely hand-picked, wet-processed and from trees of a splendid local strain of typica called Guatemala, Kona is grown on clusters of tiny farms above the Pacific on the lower slopes of Mount Hualalai and Mauna Loa.“

Tea & Coffee 04/03 - Coffee With Aloha Spirit: The 32nd Annual Kona Coffee Cultural Festival
„Today, a new mandatory certification program that guarantees origin is in place for all of Hawaii’s coffee. And this year, a landmark labeling law will also go into effect for all Hawaiian coffee, which will allow consumers to clearly distinguish a 100% Kona coffee from a blend. Any coffee containing less than 100% pure Kona coffee must be labeled a “blend,” and the exact percentage by weight of Kona coffee must be specified on the package. At least 10% Kona coffee must be present for a coffee to be called a “Kona Blend,” and that percentage also must be specifically stated.“
