Hawaii may be best known for producing pineapples and macadamia nuts – but did you know that Hawaii also produces coffee?
That’s right, Kona coffee groves thrive near the world’s largest volcano, Mauna Loa, on the big island of Hawaii. At today’s website you can see how Kona coffee gets from bean to cup. You’ll see the coffee groves, coffee flowers, unripe coffee “cherries,” and see how the beans are removed from the coffee fruit. Through text and photographs you’ll learn how the beans are processed, sorted, and roasted to produce Kona coffee. Learn:
