About coffee from Kona, Hawaii
Kona coffee is grown on the slopes of the Hualālai and Mauna Loa volcanoes on Hawaii's Big Island. It's one of the few coffees grown in the US and is known for a smooth, mellow cup. Check labels carefully: under Hawaii law a "Kona blend" only needs 10% Kona coffee.

Meet Hula Daddy Kona Coffee
Hula Daddy Kona Coffee began with an 11-acre cow pasture in Kona and a decision to grow coffee. Lee and Karen Paterson bought the property in 2002, brought in a local agronomist, and planted 7,000 coffee trees. Their first harvest came three years later, and their own account is candid: the coffee needed work. That makes the early farm story worth reading if you're curious about what goes into producing a bag of Kona coffee. Hula Daddy grew from those first plantings into a business that grows coffee and handles its own roasting, with the founders documenting changes to farming and production along the way.
