Satisfying Kona Peaberry Coffee

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.

Not every bag of coffee marked “Hawaiian” is made from the Peaberry coffee bean. To ensure that you are getting this perfect bean it must say “Kona Peaberry” coffee on the label. Only coffee grown within a small area of Kona, that is only one mile wide and 30 miles long, can be graded “prime” and labeled “Kona Peaberry Coffee.”

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.

The best way to experience this bean is to brew the Kona Peaberry coffee in a French Press coffee pot. Melding together the best bean with best process of brewing to yield the smoothest and at the same time, boldest cup of coffee. The Peaberry bean can be sampled, thoroughly enjoying its robust flavor. It doesn’t get much better than this!

Do not be ripped off by other Hawaiian blends claiming to be pure Kona coffee. Only 100% Kona Peaberry Coffee can be labeled so. Much of the coffee labeled “Hawaiian” are blends of a variety of Hawaiian coffee beans roasted together. Some may be labeled “Estate” which means that the beans were purchased from several different Hawaiian coffee estates. They will not be the smooth, rich, prime grade Peaberry coffee.

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.
