What is Kona Coffee?

“Kona Coffee” is any coffee cultivated and grown on the slopes of two mountains on the Big Island of Hawaii, Hualalai and Mauna Loa. Coffee has to be grown in these Kona districts in order to be classified as Kona Coffee. Porous, volcanic soil in these areas is rich in minerals and perfect for coffee-growing. Beautiful sunny weather, misty rain falls, and mild temperate nights all contribute to growing the rich and delicious Kona Coffee famous around the world.

Coffee Brewing and Coffee Brewing Tours in Kona

If you’ve ever put on a pot of coffee or even used a Keurig cup then congratulations! You can consider yourself a coffee brewer. There are many ways to brew coffee, from the cheapest pour over options (including “drip coffee”), to plungers (including your classic french press), and the very snazzy sounding “percolation” options. But did you know that each different method of brewing yields different results? Maybe you have grabbed a bag of coffee you loved when you tasted it in the shop but when you brought it home and threw it in your coffee pot it lacked the same …x factor.
