UCC's 100% Hawaii Kona Coffee: A Taste of Paradise at Home

On July 11, UCC Ueshima Coffee Co., Ltd. will unveil its special edition, 100% Hawaii Kona Coffee, cultivated and roasted in the coveted Kona region of Hawaii. This limited offering will be available exclusively through UCC’s official online store. As part of the launch festivities, UCC will broadcast a live online tour featuring its Kona coffee plantation, directly connecting Japan with Hawaii.

A Journey to Kona Coffee’s Rich Heritage

Kona coffee is celebrated as one of the world’s elite coffees—known for its rarity and exceptional flavor. This particular variety comes from the Arabica beans grown solely in the Kona district on the west coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. UCC has been committed to this unique coffee since establishing its Kona coffee plantation in 1989. Covering approximately 16 hectares (about 3.5 times the size of Tokyo Dome), UCC’s plantation is dedicated to cultivating the highest quality Kona coffee from the ground up.

The accessibility of the Kona region has allowed UCC to also embrace tourism. Visitors can engage in various unique experiences, including plantation tours and hands-on coffee roasting sessions. Through events like the Kona Marathon and the annual Kona Coffee Cultural Festival, UCC collaborates with local communities, enhancing not just the brand's visibility, but also the coffee industry as a whole.

The Launch of UCC's Kona Coffee Island Select

UCC is proud to offer two types of its 100% Kona coffee, available in both whole bean and ground formats. The beans have been meticulously selected and roasted by experienced roasters who understand the intricate nuances of Kona coffee. This ensures that every cup encapsulates the essence of its Hawaiian roots, delivering a smooth flavor with hints of citrus and a clarity reminiscent of Hawaii’s clear blue seas.

Beyond merely selling coffee, UCC aims to provide customers with an immersive experience. The online tour serves as a unique opportunity for participants to inhale the spirit of Hawaii while learning about the rich background of their brew. Engage in live Q&A sessions with local staff and delve deeper into the growing and harvesting processes, increasing appreciation for the labor behind every cup.
