Virtually Visit a Hawaiian Coffee Factory

June 4th, 2021

Virtual Field Trip to Hawaii Coffee Factory – Lion Coffee

(www.lioncoffee.com/learn.shtml)

All grades, with parental supervision

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.

When you get to the site you will be on the Learn tab and can view the first video. You will see the coffee groves, coffee flowers, unripe coffee “cherries,” and see how the beans are removed from the coffee fruit. Throughout the video you will learn how the beans are processed, sorted, and roasted to produce Kona coffee.
