  • Koa Coffee Plantation Selected As Kona's Finest Coffee
    Contact: Current Events (808)326-7820 FAX (808)326-5634 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE KOA COFFEE PLANTATION SELECTED AS KONA'S FINEST COFFEE KONA, HAWAII'S BIG ISLAND - Marin and Cathy Artukovich Koa Coffee Plantation won the coveted Gevalia Kona Coffee Cupping Competition today. The five-year old family run Kona coffee farm is located in Captain Cook at the 2,700 foot elevation. Cupping judge John King of Harold King and Co. described the winning coffee as "a typical medium mellow bodied Kona coffee with a delicate acidity." Second place went to Sugai Kona Coffee and third place to Wood Captain Cook Estate. Over sixty Kona coffee farmers submitted entries into this year's Gevalia Kona Coffee Cupping Competition. The blind-taste competition, held Wednesday and Thursday at the Ohana Keauhou Beach Resort, was sponsored by Gevalia Kaffe of Sweden, and fourteen entries advanced to Thursday's final round. The guest judge of honor, international master cupper Willy Pettersson of Gevalia Kaffe, was welcomed back to Kona. Manabu Fujita of UCC Ueshima Coffee Company, the largest coffee roaster in Japan, served on the judge's panel with John King of Harold King and Co. and Michael Therrien, an international coffee expert, maintaining the high standards for the competition. Each farm submitted a 50-pound sample from which five pounds were actually entered into the cupping competition. To be eligible, the coffee submitted must have been harvested in Kona. The cupping competition is a blind tasting, once the entry is accepted it is simply assigned a number to protect its anonymity.

  • Gathering Gis Data to Inform Development and Planning in the Rainforest and Protect Natural and Historic Features
    ABSTRACT SUSTAINABLE COFFEE FARMING IN HAWAI’I: GATHERING GIS DATA TO INFORM DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING IN THE RAINFOREST AND PROTECT NATURAL AND HISTORIC FEATURES by Connor Evan O’Hearn Abstract: This report describes the internship experience in Kona, Hawai’i working with Monarch Coffee. This involved the collection of 81 soil samples, and geospatial data on the locations of natural and human made features. This data collection and analysis was for the purpose of building a Map Book. The 122 acres of land were sectioned into 27 individual rectangular segments to make the gathering of data more uniform. Soil samples and other spatial information was taken throughout each section. Due to the size of the property, it was important to divide it into more manageable focus areas that would allow for a high level of detail in the analysis. Ultimately, the resulting maps will help in sustainable and efficient land development while conserving the natural landmarks and ecosystem. This project took place in the summer of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. This limited the data collection team to one person and has caused various delays in the economy and industry in Hawai’i. Additionally, the spread of Coffee Leaf Rust to the state of Hawai’i and the Big Island in 2020 raises new concerns about the coffee industry and the plans for the development of this property.

  • Crop Profile for Coffee in Hawaii
    Crop Profile for Coffee in Hawaii Prepared February 2000 General Production Information Hawaii’s coffee industry is one of the most diverse and dynamic in the world. Current technologies and production practices span a range of producers from 1-acre, certified organic, rainfed farms to 4000- acre, totally mechanized, irrigated plantations (Bittenbender and Smith 2000). Even feral coffee, sown from the droppings of birds and pigs, is harvested from forests and long-abandoned farms on most of the inhabited Hawaiian Islands. Coffee is a small evergreen tree that flowers on the previous year’s growth. The tree has two distinct types of branches: vertical (orthotropic) and lateral (plagiotropic). The basic difference between vertical and lateral branches is growth habit. Verticals always grow up, produce laterals once at the leaf nodes and thereafter only new verticals at those nodes. Laterals grow horizontally and produce leaves, flowers, and new laterals. The fragrant white flowers are self-fertile producing red–or yellow fruit depending on the variety. The fruit, or 'cherries,' normally contain two seeds. After processing the seeds are called 'green bean' or 'green coffee', and can be stored for a couple years under ambient conditions. Coffee is roasted just prior to sale to consumers. Only then does it have the characteristic smell and color consumers expect. ● Hawaii and Puerto Rico are the only two places where coffee is grown in the United States. Production in Hawaii has grown from a decade low of 1.9 million pounds of green bean to 7.6 million pounds in 1998 (Anonymous, 1999). It has a farm gate value of $24.7 million.

  • Understanding the Formation of CO2 and Its Degassing Behaviours in Coffee
    Understanding the Formation of CO2 and Its Degassing Behaviours in Coffee by Xiuju Wang A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Food Science Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Xiuju Wang, May, 2014 ABSTRACT UNDERSTANDING THE FORMATION OF CO2 AND ITS DEGASSING BEHAVIOURS IN COFFEE Xiuju Wang Advisor: University of Guelph, 2014 Professor Loong-Tak Lim In the present study, the effect of roasting temperature-time conditions on residual CO2 content and its degassing behaviours in roasted coffee was investigated. The results show that the residual CO2 content in the roasted coffee beans was only dependent on the degree of roast and independent on the roasting temperature applied. However, CO2 degassing was shown significantly faster (p<0.05) in roasted coffee processed with high- temperature-short-time (HTST) than those roasted with low-temperature-long-time (LTLT) process. Moreover, the CO2 degassing rate increased with the degree of roast. CO2 degassing in ground coffee was significantly faster than in whole beans with the rate highly dependent on the grind size and roasting temperature, but less dependent on the degree of roast. CO2 degassing rate increased with the increasing of environmental temperature and relative humidity. Although CO2 degassing has been a challenging problem in the coffee industry for decades, there is still no clear understanding of precursors of CO2. In the present study, the hypothesis of “chlorogenic acid (CGA) is the principal precursor of CO2” was tested. Although strong negative linear correlation (R2>0.9) between total CGA and residual CO2 content during coffee roasting was detected, and vanishing of IR bands of the C=O group in caffeic acid and quinic acid moieties during heating of pure CGA at coffee roasting temperature was observed, the quantification analysis of CO2 generation from pure CGA heating indicated only ~ 8% yields at 230°C, which led us to conclude that CGA was one of the CO2 precursors but not the principal one.

  • A Statistical Analysis of Coffee's Chemical Properties
    The Concernment of Coffee: A Statistical Analysis of Coffee’s Chemical Properties Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the flavor and the average pH of different brands of bagged coffee that can be purchased at Ralph’s Supermarket in Orange, CA. Four randomly selected coffee bags were collected from each of the four randomly selected brands of coffee. The coffee bags were obtained through cluster sampling of the brands of coffee. The flavor variable was taken from the front label of each bag, while pH was measured by inserting a Vernier pH probe into ½ cup sample of coffee brewed from each selected bag. Using a one-way ANOVA test, a statistically significant difference between the average pH of at least two or more roasts/flavors was determined. Background and Significance According the National Coffee Association, a 2018 survey found that 64% of Americans drink at least once cup of coffee each day [1]. Most individuals consume coffee as means of in taking the secondary metabolite, caffeine. Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that antagonizes adenosine receptors, which causes an increase in locomotor activity within animals [2]. Aside from being a metabolic energy source, the consumption of caffeinated coffee is associated with a decreased risk for developing Alzheimer’s Disease, according to a 2009 study [3]. Additionally, research conducted by Weinong et al. found that caffeine enhances the expression of pro-apoptotic genes in skin cells that have incomplete DNA repair, thus hindering the development of melanoma [4]. Based upon the significance and impact of consuming caffeinated coffee, we were curious to analyze some of the various commercial coffees’ chemical properties, such as pH and its association with flavor.

    Kona Coffee Country: Farm tours keep the java flowing (Versions published in Portland Oregonian, Seattle Post-Intelligencer and St. Petersburg Times) By: DEBORAH ABRAMS KAPLAN We see the small, ripe red fruit ready for hand-picking in the fields. We learn about its processing, bulk storage and packaging. In the tasting room, we finally sample the goods -- several varieties, including the estate's special reserve. A good buzz sets in. No, we're not in Napa Valley. We're in Kona, on the Big Island of Hawaii, and we're sampling coffee. There are no spittoons, and the coffee is in self-serve thermoses. As in California's legendary wine country, we easily spend a day touring and drinking our way through 20 miles of hilly, green country. Looking down, it's hard to believe anything grows out of the volcanic, black rocky ground, yet the area is lush with tropical fruits, macadamia nut and cacao trees and, of course, coffee. It's summer, the rainy season, and the September harvest looms. Morning showers give way to partly cloudy skies -- weather that Shirley Shook, guide for Kona Blue Sky Coffee, says is necessary for good java. That and the volcanic nutrient-rich soil. Many plantations welcome visitors, giving free tours of their fields and processing plants. But for those of us not fluent in Hawaiian, the farms aren't always easy to find. Have fun navigating with street numbers such as 84-8927 on roads like Mamalahoa, Hualalai, Napoopoo and Walua in often dense, jungle-like areas. And since most of the coffee plantations have some combination of "Kona," "Coffee," "Farm," "Plantation," "Mountain," "Coast," and "Hawaii" in their names, you'll find yourself consulting our driving tour map (see box) frequently.
