Just goes to show, you shouldn't believe everything a tour guide tells
you.  Hawaii is about 21 N latitude, while ParanĂ¡ in Brazil is about
24 S, and grows vast amounts of coffee.  This may be the farthest
north that anyone grows coffee commercially, although there is coffee
grown in Veracruz, Mexico, which may be slightly farther north.

I agree that the hotel coffee is quite good, but I would be pretty
surprised if it contained any beans grown in Hawaii.  Coffee from Kona
is very expensive, like two or three times coffee from other places.
If there were any local beans in the coffee, there would be large
signs saying Kona and it would cost extra.
