About Coffees of Hawaii

The land in Kualapuu, Molokai, was first discovered as an ideal place for cultivating Arabica coffee in the 1980s. The area, recognized for its red volcanic soil, was developed for coffee agriculture during the years and was nowadays reborn in 2004. The company celebrated its first harvest in 2006 after purifying and readjusting the fields and reemploying workers who have been dumped.

The 500-acre plantation produces 100% Molokai-grown Arabica coffee, including its brands: “Molokai Muleskinner Coffee,” “Malulani Estate,” “Hawaiian Espresso – Molokai Style and “Molokai Island Princess.”

Coffees of Hawaii is not just fully committed to the representation of the finest Hawaiian premium coffees: 100% Moloka’i coffee, 100% Kona coffee and 100% Maui coffee, but is also 100% engaged to promote the revitalization of culture and ecology in the Hawaiian islands.

That is the reason why the company donates 1% of its revenues to this purpose. Moreover, they actively aid the people of the Moloka’i island, which many consider to the most traditionally Hawaiian of all the islands.

The native culture gives the strength and courage, smarts and passion, teaches the lesson of malama the ‘aina (to take care of the spirit of the land that feeds us), and Coffees of Hawaii is a part of that tradition.

The company praises the highest quality beans and the richest essence of several different regions of the islands. Hawaii is a real collection site of unique and interesting places, each with its own weather and spirit. Premium coffees were chosen to make an opportunity of tasting this diverse palette of flavors.

About coffee production in Hawaii

Hawaii is the only state capable of commercial coffee production in the United States of America (there is a place, however, which also grows coffee in the overseas territories of the United States, namely Puerto Rico, but it is not a state but a US territory. In addition, two experimental coffee cultivation projects have been made in the USA: Santa Barbara, CA, and Georgia.

Coffee grows in Kona in an approximately two miles wide “coffee belt” from 210 m to 610 m altitude. Other coffee-growing districts on the island include Kaʻū in the far south, Puna in the southeast, and Hāmākua in the northeast.

The highest production begins in late summer and extends to early spring, even though the beans may be harvested all along the year. There were about 790 farms in Hawaii between 2008 and 2009, and 40 on other islands. A total of about 7,800 acres (3,200 ha) are planted with coffee throughout the state. Although total production increased from 2007, farm prices actually dropped, so the dollar value decreased. Several former sugarcane and pineapple plantations have changed to coffee production, such as Molokaʻi coffee.Raw coffee beans
