5 Highest Quality Coffee Beans In The World

2. Hawaii Kona

Insider Monkey’s Score: 6

The Hawaii Kona is the first American origin coffee bean on our list. It is grown in the Kona regions of Hawaii, and history suggests that the Kona bean first made its way to Hawaii from Brazil. Since Hawaii is smaller than major coffee producing countries, the Kona coffee is often short in supply which drives up its price. Building on this, Hawaii also imposed some water restrictions in regions where the Kona coffee bean is grown, adding another factor to producer woes which also include coffee leaf rust.

1. Colombian

Insider Monkey’s Score: 4.375

Colombia is a South American country with a $3363 billion economy in nominal terms. It is also among the top five largest coffee producers in the world. Colombian coffee is also known for its unique branding by the national growers association. The fictional figure Juan Valdez is a Colombian coffee farmer who is known to be the symbol of the coffee beans grown in the South American country. Most Colombian coffee beans are grown in the Coffee Triangle.
