Tea & Coffee 02/00 - Quality and Variety in Restaurant Coffee Service (#)
„Norman Higashi, foodservice manager of Outrigger Waikoloa Beach Resort in Waikoloa, Hawaii, says that in Hawaii, restaurants most often feature a 100% Kona coffee as well as a blend. “We chose Kona Blue Sky Coffee as our supplier of 100% Kona coffee because they offer an excellent product at a good price and with a guarantee that the coffee comes directly from their estate in Holualoa-Kona,” says Higashi. In addition to serving the coffee in the hotel’s main dining room and in the V.I.P. lounge, the hotel penned an agreement with Kona Blue Sky Coffee Company to open a coffee bar in its main lobby, filling the entrance of the hotel with the wonderful aroma of coffee.“

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, 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.“

„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.“
