(Forward Excerpt)
"Kona has two long ribbon highways--one high above the slopes of two mountains, Hualalai to the north and Mauna Loa to the South, and a lower one that hugs the shoreline on the Big Island of Hawai'i, the largest of the eight islands that make up the State of Hawai'i. Along the higher road, known as the Coffee Belt Road, are the coffee farms with humble abodes, overlooking grand panoramas of the blue Pacific."
"The coffee trees thrive along this thin belt highway, in spite of virtually growing out of lava rocks."
- Francis Y. Sogi, Chairman, Board of Trustees, Japanese American National Museum
Presented in an oversized coffee colored format, THE KONA COFFEE STORY is a wonderful tribute to the immigrant population, predominantly of Asian descent, in the making of a world class commodity. Still harvested in much the same manner as always, Kona Coffee despite being a labor intense crop is today in demand throughout civilized culture. One of Hawaii's premier crops, this lovely book captures the history and the flavor of this kona coast culture.
in beautiful condition, this commemorative is a must have for Kailua-Kona residents or anyone that enjoys a superb cup of Kona Coffee.
