Hawaiian Kona

The last of 10 of the most expensive coffees on our list, Hawaiian Kona, will cost you back $35 a pound. To be labeled as "Kona Coffee," it must originate in the Kona districts of Hawaii.

The Kona districts provide ideal growing conditions for coffee beans. The weather is mostly bright with minimal wind and a light rain shower in the afternoons, and the volcanic soil is exceptionally mineral-rich.

Hawaiian Kona is noted for its exquisite flavor, which can only be defined as one-of-a-kind. Because the beans are extremely uncommon and in short supply, producers have resorted to blending pure Kona with less expensive beans to create a more inexpensive blend. Approximately 10% of most Kona packets will be 100 percent pure Kona.

If you want to get the whole Kona experience, seek packets that say "100% Kona Coffee."
