Pure 100% Kona Coffee

Hawaii County Mayor Steve Yamashiro launched the 100% Kona Coffee seal program aimed at promoting pure Kona coffee and raising consumer awareness. According to the mayor this seal program guards the integrity of Kona's gourmet coffee industry and bolsters family farms.  In order to qualify to use the logo seal on Kona coffee packaging, the green coffee must be exclusively grown in north or south Kona, roasted on the Big Island and be certified by the State Department of Agriculture as per Chapter 147, Hawaii Revised Statues.. The applicant then submits a copy of this certification to the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival, which has been contracted to administer and manage the County's logo seal program.  These adhesive logo seals are sold for 3¢ per seal to provide for ongoingfunding and marketing of Kona coffee. The County has agreed to match this funding on a 2-for-1 basis up to a maximum level of $10,000. For Additional Info:
