Ono Kona Coffee won the inaugural Crown Competition, with Aloha Hills and Kulana Farms coming in second and third.
Sharon and Bob Wood, owners of Ono Kona Coffee and Arianna Farms, harvest their coffee from 40 acres in Holualoa. The couple honeymooned in Hawaii in 1993 and named their farm after 10-year-old daughter, Arianna. The farm's elevation is between 1,600 feet and 2,000 feet.
The cupping competition also was one of the first public appearances by the new Miss Kona Coffee, Malia Pucong, 23, a University of Hawaii at Manoa student. She is the grand-daughter of coffee farmers.
The Kona Coffee Cultural Festival started 37 years ago to promote Kona's top crop and honor the industry's pioneers.
