Hawaii Coffee Association (#)
„The HCA is recognized by the State of Hawaii Department of Agriculture as the industry's umbrella organization. Therefore we take the lead role in representing organizations like the Kona Coffee Council, The Kona Farmers Alliance and the Hawaii Coffee Growers Association. We are involved in coffee research with both the Hawaii Agricultural Research Center and the University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources. But, over the past two years, our focus has been on a combination of marketing and education and we found that Truth In Labeling was an effective tool to address both of these issues. “

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.“

„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.“

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