In the entire United States there is only one area suitable for growing coffee – and that is Hawaii. Although there are various types of coffee grown in Hawaii the best coffee is grown in the Kona district. At the present time – in the Kona region of the big island of Hawaii – there are about 1,500 acres of coffee cultivated on the hard volcanic rockKona is cultivated in modest quantities on the slopes of the Hualalai and Mauna Loa, an active volcano, in fields about 1,500 to 2,000 feet above sea level. Here the prevailing winds provide sunny mornings, misty mid-day cloud coverage and mild afternoon rains. This combination provides some of the finest natural conditions for the farming of Hawaiian Kona coffee.
