Hawaii’s the only U.S. state where coffee is grown. And not just any coffee! Kona coffee, known worldwide for its quality and flavor.
Want to know more? Back in 1873, the Greenwell family put their coffee to its toughest test: a tasting competition at the World’s Fair in Vienna, Austria – famous for its historic coffee houses and demanding java drinkers. Judges awarded the Kona contestants a Recognition Diploma – one of the fair’s top honors. Nowadays, these special beans are honored at another celebration – the Kona coffee festival each November on the Big Island.
