Kona Coffee Lovers

The 19th Annual Kona Coffee Cultural Festival will take place in Kona on Hawaii’s Big Island, November 6th - 15th, 2009. The first coffee was planted in Kona by missionary Samuel Ruggles in 1828 or 1829. These first Arabica trees were taken from cuttings planted on Oahu a few years earlier. Coffee and Kona was a perfect match - Kona with its rich volcanic soil, hard-working family farmers, and perfect climatic conditions.
