[edit] John Wilkinson
The Kona coffee culture has long been characterized by a strong work ethic, independence, self-sufficiency, family unity, and cooperation—among family members, households and the community.
In 1813, Don Francisco de Paula Y Marin, a Spaniard and Kamehameha's "right hand man" planted coffee on the island of Oahu.
In 1825, John Wilkinson, an English agriculturist, acquires coffee plants in Brazil. These plants are brought to Oahu and planted in Manoa Valley at the estate of Chief Boki, the island's governor.
