Did You Know?
Kona's main coffee-growing region stretches for 25 miles along the lower
slopes of Hualalai volcano. The coffee plantations climb to 2,000 feet
above the Pacific, with gorgeous views. The value of the real estate
is just one reason Kona coffee fetches $20 to $25 a pound!
Because of the
rugged growing surface, Kona beans must be picked by hand, not by
machines, causing the largest growers to import workers
from Mexico and Central America for the harvest. With a human doing
the picking, the only beans picked are the ones with the red color that
indicates
their ripeness. After the beans are soaked and the skin is removed,
they are left to dry in the sun, not in the commercial dryers that are
widely
used where coffee is mass-produced. At virtually every step along the
way, a Kona bean gets more attention from a human than mass-market
coffees. |
