Visit to UCC Coffee Farm

 On June 6, 2010, Consul General and Mrs. Kamo visited the UCC Coffee Farm in Kona, Hawaii. The coffee farm is located in the highlands of Kona. The cool weather, which is unusual for a tropical island is suitable for growing high quality coffee. The coffee beans are carefully hand-picked at the height of its maturity which is said to be the secret to the rich flavor of the coffee. With the painstaking work by the farmers, including Japanese American farmers, Kona coffee has achieved the status of being one of the finest coffees in the world along with Jamaican Blue Mountain and African Kilimanjaro.
