The Kona Coffee Belt is a 30 mile long and a single mile wide piece of land that rests on the western slopes of the Hualalai and Mauna Loa volcanoes. The lowest piece of this land sits 500 feet above sea level and rises to a height of 2,500 feet. The size and altitude may influence the flavor of the beans some but even more important to the coffee is the soil and climate. Over 60 inches of rain keep the fertile volcanic soil hydrated, and warm temperatures during the day and night eliminate the risk of frost.
Coffee farms dot the Hawaiian Islands and all offer unique flavors and quality products. However, in order to be genuine Kona 100% Kona Coffee the beans can only be grown in this small area. The landscape is rocky and steep and this helps it to stay well-drained. The rain that arrives nearly every evening ensures that fresh water is always available to the growing crops. A limited amount of pests means that there is no need for excessive pesticide use and the area remains natural and clean. The warm sunshine, acidic soil and fresh ocean breezes all add a special touch that makes it unlike any other place on Earth.
Kona coffee growers harvest their beans by hand. They carefully sort each bean by its size and quality. All beans dry in the sun before the milling and roasting process begins. By having the beans sorted by size, the roasting process is perfectly controlled and the coffee has a consistency in its flavor. There are several types of roasts that help to shape the final flavor of the coffee. Kona 100% Kona Coffee is generally described as sweet and rich. The roast will add either a floral, nutty or fruity flavor. Some specialty roasts add additional flavors as well.
