1st Place 2021 Kona Coffee Cultural Festival Cupping Competition

Hawaiian Queen Coffee was awarded 1st place at the 2021 Cupping Competition during the 50th annual Kona Coffee Cultural Festival. This is the fourth time that we have won the premier cupping (best tasting) competition at this event for Kona coffee.

Since its inception in 1970, the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival has sought to preserve, perpetuate and promote Kona’s 200-year coffee heritage. Hawaii’s oldest food festival celebrates the culture behind Kona’s world-famous cup of coffee! Throughout the 4-day online/in-person hybrid Festival, attendees celebrate the harvest as Kona coffee farms offer a firsthand look at growing this world-famous crop, the coffee art scene fills with inspiration, and music and dance enrich cultural exchanges. Kona coffee and food events offer tastings, and hands-on cultural events help tell the story of Kona’s rich coffee history.
