DID YOU KNOW that out of the 20 million pounds of Kona Coffee bought and consumed every year only 2 million pounds of that coffee is actually grown here in Kona? And the frightening fact of the matter is…that most Kona coffee drinkers around the world have no idea that what they are drinking is a coffee containing 90 or more percent of something other than Kona coffee.
It’s time for this deceptive labeling and misuse of the Kona name to end. In an attempt to preserve the coffee growing heritage here in Kona and the gourmet reputation of our local coffee and to combat this widespread misrepresentation of the Kona name to sell counterfeit coffee we here at Coffee Times unconditionally guarantee that the coffee you receive from us is only 100% Pure Kona coffee and meets the State of Hawaii’s highest grading standards.
You will be amazed to find out what you have been missing when you get a taste of the real thing!
