Why Boo-Ka-Hoona 100% Kona Fancy Grade Coffee?
While I was stationed near Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, my family would drive by a waterpark near the Destin area called Big Kahuna's. My daughter who was 5 years old at the time would get extremely excited when passing it and yell out Boo-ka-hoona. We made many attempts to correct her through our time there but she was adamant in the parks pronunciation and has become a family joke to this day, nearly 20 years later.
History of Kona Coffee
The coffee plant was brought to the Kona district in 1828 by Samuel Reverend Ruggles from Brazilian cuttings. English merchant Henry Nicholas Greenwell moved to the area and established Kona coffee as a recognized brand later in the 19th century. The former Greenwell Store and Kona Coffee Living History Farm have since become museums.
In other parts of the Hawaiian islands, it was grown on large plantations, but the 1899 world coffee market crash caused plantation owners to lease land to their workers. Most were from Japan, brought to work on sugarcane plantations. They worked their leased parcels of between 5 and 12 acres (49,000 m2) as family concerns, producing large, quality crops.
The tradition of family farms continued throughout Kona. The Japanese-origin families have been joined by Filipinos, mainland Americans, and Europeans. There are approximately 800 Kona coffee farms, with an average size of less than 5 acres (20,000 m2). In 1997 the total Kona coffee area was 2,290 acres (9 km2) and green coffee production just over two million pounds.
