FrontStreet Coffee - Hawaii Kona Coffee Introduction

Hawaii-grown Kona coffee beans possess the most perfect appearance, with exceptionally full fruits and bright, glossy surfaces. The coffee has a rich and aromatic flavor with cinnamon spice notes, and the acidity is well-balanced and moderate. Hawaii coffee is the only premium variety produced among the 50 states of America, belonging to the oldest Typica variety, with the American mainland naturally being its largest market.

Hawaii-grown Kona coffee beans possess the most perfect appearance, with exceptionally full fruits and bright, glossy surfaces, making them the most beautiful coffee beans in the world. The coffee is smooth and rich, with attractive nutty flavor notes, and the acidity is well-balanced and moderate—just as captivating as the colorful landscapes of Hawaii, with an equally lingering aftertaste. The world-renowned "Hawaii Kona" is a fragrant and acidic premium coffee bean.

Kona coffee is cultivated on the slopes of Mauna Loa volcano on the southwestern coast of Hawaii. In terms of flavor profile, Kona coffee beans are closer to Central American coffees rather than Indonesian coffees. Its average quality is very high, processed with great care, with medium body, good acidity, very rich flavors, and fresh Kona coffee is incredibly aromatic. If you find Italian coffee too heavy, African coffee too acidic, or Central and South American coffee too bold, then "Kona" might be perfect for you. Kona is like a woman walking out of Hawaii's sunshine and gentle breeze—fresh and natural.

Kona coffee is grown without shade cover. Hawaii has an island-type climate with very suitable conditions. Hawaii provides Kona coffee with the morning sunlight it precisely needs. At noon, rising clouds ensure and prevent harsh direct sunlight.

In the afternoon, the mountains become more humid and foggy, creating a natural shading effect that serves as a natural umbrella for the coffee trees. The evenings become clear and cool, prompting Kona coffee fruits to mature at a slow pace, resulting in a rich appearance, full moisture content, and excellent flavor profile.

Authentic Kona coffee is truly a rare treasure and not easy to find. The finest Kona coffee is classified into three grades: Extra Fancy, Fancy, and Number One. These three grades are all produced in both estate and natural conditions. Most coffees on the market that claim to be "Kona" contain less than 5% of genuine Hawaii Kona coffee. In the United States, another excellent Hawaii coffee can also be found—Hawaii Kai Farms Coffee.
