Hawaii Coffee Association (#)

  „It is House Bill 2169, and it amends existing statutes regulating coffee labeling for locally produced coffee. "This is a very important development for our industry," said Hawaii Coffee Association (HCA) President Frank Kiger. "The labeling requirements in the revised law will allow consumers to clearly distinguish a 100-percent Hawaiian Coffee from a blend that uses both Hawaiian coffee and foreign coffee," he explained. "Most of the coffee roasted and sold in Hawaii that carries Hawaii identifiers are blends using only 10 percent Hawaiian Coffee and 90 percent imported foreign coffee.“

  „Kona, on the southwest coast of Hawaii, thelargest island of the Hawaiian chain, produces the most famous and the most traditional ofHawaiian coffees. Coffee has been grown in smaller quantities elsewhere on the islandssince the early days of European settlement, but encouraged by the impending closure ofsugar and pineapple plantations and the tourism-induced popularity of Hawaiian coffee,large commercial concerns now have established plantations on the islands of Kauai andMolokai. Similar efforts soon may follow on other islands.“

The Coffees of Hawaii

  „..the worst cost way too much. So the goal with Hawaiians is to quit thinking that all Hawaiian coffee is good, and to realize that only a handful of coffees deserve the high price in terms of cup quality (you can easily argue that all deserve a high price in terms of the care and labor expended in producing them). And frankly, you must pay quite a bit for the truly great small-farm Kona.“

  „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.“
