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.

It has been said that coffee prepared in a French Press coffee pot is the best way to taste the actual flavor of
the coffee bean. If you have Kona Peaberry coffee beans what better way to thoroughly enjoy their bold yet smooth flavor.

When purchasing a package of Kona Peaberry Coffee inspect the ingredient label carefully. It can only be called that if it is 100% Kona Peaberry Coffee. It may say that it is a “Kona” blend. That could mean that it is part Hawaiian coffee, possibly grown in other areas, and a small part Kona Peaberry Coffee.

It is well worth the extra cost to buy pure Kona Peaberry Coffee. You will not be disappointed.
