There is no comparison between hand picked Certified Kona Coffee and the vast majority of imported or mass-produced coffee products offered by Starbucks or brands sold in major grocery store chains.
The United States (Hawaii) is the only coffee growing area in the world that requires continual
rigorous testing and certification for its coffee.
Kona Coffee, in particular, is graded by the Hawaii Department of Agriculture based upon a grading system that takes into account a number of factors, including a coffee bean's size, shape, moisture content and number of defects it contains. Although the grading process is time-consuming and an additional cost to farmers, it ensures the integrity and quality of Kona coffee that reaches the end-consumer.
More About Kona Coffee
Kona coffee is the market name for coffee (Coffea arabica) cultivated on the slopes of Mount Hualalai and Mauna Loa in the North and South Kona Districts of the Big Island of Hawaii. This coffee has developed a reputation that has made it one of the most expensive and sought-after coffees in the world. Only coffee from the Kona Districts can be legally described as "Kona". The Kona weather pattern of bright sunny mornings, humid rainy afternoons and mild nights creates favorable coffee growing conditions.Because of the rarity and price of Kona coffee in the marketplace, some retailers sell so-called "Kona Blends". In most cases, these are not a combination of different Kona coffees but rather a blend of Kona and Colombian, Brazilian or other foreign coffees. These blends usually contain only 10% Kona coffee and 90% cheaper imported beans. It is very important to note, and remember, that American Cowboy Coffee™ products are not blended with foreign coffee beans but rather, they are made from 100% Kona and Hawaiian-grown coffee beans.
Current Hawaiian law requires blends to state the percentage of Kona coffee on the label. Some retailers use terms like Kona Roast, or Kona Style. To be considered authentic Kona coffee, the State of Hawaii's labeling laws require the prominent display of the words "100% Kona Coffee".
