Kona Peaberry Coffee is Pleasantly Aromatic

Whenever I have a friend traveling to Hawaii I insist they bring me back a bag of the famous Kona Peaberry Coffee. Kona coffee is known for its smooth and mellow yet full-bodied flavor, a very deep, rich bean producing a very aromatic cup of coffee. Kona’s elevated location is perfect for growing the best beans. Its climate of sunny mornings, cloudy or rainy afternoons, combine to make a superior coffee bean.

Kona coffee can only be called that if it is grown within the district of Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. It is grown in a small area only one mile wide by 30 miles long. Coffee grown in any other area of the islands can only be called “Hawaiian.” Even coffee grown in Kona is called “Hawaiian” if it falls below the “Prime” grade.

Because Kona Peaberry coffee has a lower acid content than other beans it brews a smoother tasting cup of coffee. This rare bean is unusual due to its cylinder shape, producing one bean instead of two, and makes up only five
percent of the coffee crop. Some believe that because of its differences it yields a darker and stronger but smoother bean.

When coffee is prepared in a French Press coffee pot it produces a concentrated yet very smooth and rich
tasting coffee. You can imagine how the combination of Kona Peaberry coffee, which is already great tasting, and brewing it in the French Press coffee pot would kick it up a notch and make a more intense flavored cup of coffee.

One sip of this rare coffee will spoil you for any other.

If you are comparing prices you may think you are getting a high grade coffee by purchasing one called “Estate.” “Estate” is not a grade of Kona coffee. The Kona coffee council defines “Estate” as “the product of one farm,
unmixed with crops from other farms and processed through to roast under the control of that farm.” Processing companies buy coffee in cherry form (right off the tree) from many farms in Hawaii. They combine these all the way
through to roasting and market it under their own label.

If you are willing to spend a little more you will receive double the flavor on your next cup of coffee if you have purchased Kona Peaberry Coffee.
