Kona Coffee
The Kona coffee belt is exactly one mile away from the ocean, on a hillside within the range of two volcanoes, Hualalai and Mauna Loa. It was planted during the early 1800s on the western slopes of these Hawaiian peaks at an elevation between 500-3,000 feet. If a coffee tree were to grow on any other Hawaiian Island than Kona it would be called Hawaiian Coffee but still considered genuine/authentic coffee. In order for a coffee bean to become 100% pure Kona Coffee, it must be grown only in this very specific microclimate along the Kona mainland coast in Hawaii.
