On September 14, 2005 Modern Marvels debuted an hour long
episode on the history of coffee. The Kona Joe Coffee trellis was
featured as one of the best new innovations in coffee. Coffee experts
appearing on the show included Howard Schultz CEO, founder of Starbucks
Coffee, Ted Lingle, executive director of the Specialty Coffee Association
of America (SCAA). and Dr Joe Alban inventor of the coffee trellis.
It was clear from the history of coffee how wine and coffee
are both specialty beverages and according to Ted Lingle "the future of
coffee will follow the wine model".
Kona Joe has been a pioneer constantly working to produce and
grow coffee like wine. Growing coffee on a trellis like wine grapes marks
the first time in history, coffee has been cultivated like wine. Kona Joe
not only cultivates coffee like wine he has recognized the
importance of appellation, terroir, and the critical balance of sugars and
acids in developing coffee fruit.
Kona Joe acted as a technical advisor to the History channel
and the Kona Joe Coffee Trellis will forever be a part of coffee
history.
A DVD copy of the 1 hour show is available from Arts and
Entertainment; just ask for the History Channel Modern Marvels of Coffee.
