With an annual production of 7 million pounds, Hawaii is the only U.S. state where coffee is grown. While the Big Island's Kona coffee remains the best known, coffee is currently grown on each of the major islands. The combination of year round warm, sunny weather, rich volcanic soil, rolling hillsides, tranquil trade winds and ample rain that makes Hawaiian coffee some of the best in the world.
