It is called Kona,...

Source Artificial Intelligence,....

Kona coffee is a premium coffee bean variety grown exclusively in the Kona Coffee Belt on the Big Island of Hawaii. It's known for its unique flavor profile, often described as crisp, bright, and clean with notes of brown sugar, milk chocolate, and honey. Kona coffee is a specialty coffee, and only the coffee grown in the Kona region can be legitimately labeled as such.
Key Characteristics of Kona Coffee:
Distinct Flavor Profile:
Kona coffee is recognized for its smooth, mild taste, and low acidity, making it a popular choice for coffee drinkers.
Rare and Exclusively Grown:
The Kona Coffee Belt is a small area, limiting the production of Kona coffee, which contributes to its higher price.
Hand-Picked and Processed:
Kona coffee beans are typically hand-picked to ensure quality, and the beans are carefully processed and roasted.
Unique Growing Conditions:
The Kona Coffee Belt benefits from a unique microclimate with sunny mornings, afternoon rain, little wind, and mild nights, all contributing to its distinctive flavor.
100% Kona Authenticity:
To be considered true Kona coffee, the beans must be grown in the Kona region and not blended with other coffee varieties.
Examples of Kona Coffee Producers:
Big Island Coffee Roasters, Kona Coffee & Tea, Hawaii Coffee Company, Greenwell Farms, and Kona Coffee Company.
