Captain Cook Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Why must you drink Kona coffee when you go to Hawaii?

When it comes to Hawaii's specialties, I think Kona coffee is definitely a business card. Kona coffee has a history of more than 200 years. Because of the island's climate and nutrient-rich volcanic soil, it is very suitable for coffee growth. Plus, the slope planting cannot be mechanized and can only be manually planted and harvested, so it produces the world-renowned Kona coffee. On the island, you will see many coffee shops with the words '100% Kona coffee' at the door, which is the local people's attitude towards life. Greenwell Farms was a coffee farm created by Henry Nicholas Greenwell in Hawaii after leaving England in 1850. As the largest and oldest coffee producer in Kona, they bring 100% Kona coffee to coffee lovers all over the world. Nowadays, many tourists come to the plantation every day. Through two private tours and tastings every day, green walkers understand how Kona coffee goes from seed to cup. In general, Kona coffee has a clear taste, slight acidity, mildness, strong aroma, and long aftertaste. Some people describe its flavor as the warm sea breeze of Hawaii and believe that medium roast can best bring out the flavor of Kona coffee. If you want to buy Kona coffee, be sure to pay attention to the text on the package. Only coffee marked 100% Kona is pure Kona coffee. If it is marked with Kona Blend, Style, Roast, it is not worth buying.
