In 1825. Coffee plants were first imported to Oah'u around 1813 by the Spanish physician, interpreter and advisor to King Kamehameha, Don Francisco de Paula y Marin. The next attempt at bringing coffee into Hawai'i occurred in 1825 when King Kamehameha II and his Queen died from measles while on a visit to England. While shipping the bodies back to Hawai'i aboard the H.M.S. Blonde, the accompanying Governor Boki stopped in Rio de Janeiro and purchased coffee plants. On reaching Hawai'i, the plants were successfully cultivated by John Wilkinson (of Captain Cook fame). However, at that time coffee was prized mostly as an ornamental plant, and not as a favored beverage source.
