Where Do Hawaiian Coffee Beans Grow? The Noble Typica Variety of Hawaiian Coffee

FrontStreet Coffee - Hawaiian Coffee Introduction

Hawaiian Kona coffee beans belong to high-quality Arabica beans and have now become one of the most popular and expensive coffee beans on the market.

In 1813, a Spaniard first planted coffee in Manoa Valley on Oahu, which today has become the main campus of the University of Hawaii. In 1825, a British agriculturist named John Wilkinson transplanted some coffee from Brazil to Oahu, in Chief Boki's coffee garden. Three years later, an American missionary named Samuel Reverend Ruggles brought coffee tree branches from Chief Boki's garden to Kona. This coffee is a descendant of the earliest Arabica coffee trees that grew on the Ethiopian plateau, and to this day, Kona coffee still continues its noble and ancient lineage.

The excellent quality of Kona coffee benefits from its suitable geographical location and climate. The coffee trees grow on volcanic slopes at appropriate altitudes between 2,100-3,600 meters. The good slope allows Kona coffee to absorb sufficient moisture from the soil without absorbing too much that would affect the coffee flavor.

Because Kona Island has fertile Hawaiian tropical volcanic soil, rich volcanic black mud with moderate acidity, rich mineral content, and appropriate moisture content. The dark volcanic ash soil provides the necessary minerals for coffee. Although Hawaii is often affected by tornadoes, the climate conditions are indeed very suitable for coffee cultivation. There is abundant rainfall and sunshine here, with no worry of frost damage.

Kona coffee is grown without shade. Hawaii belongs to an island-type climate with very suitable conditions. The morning sunlight gently passes through the moisture-filled air, and the warm tropical sunshine plays an important role in coffee tree propagation. Hawaii provides the appropriate morning light that Kona coffee needs. At noon, due to the rising clouds, it ensures and prevents harsh direct sunlight.

In the afternoon, the mountains become more humid and foggy. Every afternoon, a cloud drifts over Kona Island, and the moving white clouds in the sky block the sunlight, protecting the fragile coffee tree seedlings and forming a natural shading effect. This is a natural sunshade for the coffee trees, while the nights become clear and cool. The cool moonlight promotes the slow maturation of Kona coffee fruits, creating a rich appearance and excellent taste with full moisture.
