Kona Peaberry Coffee is Pleasantly Aromatic

30 April 2009 in Coffee

Kona Hawaii has the perfect climate, elevation and equatorial location to produce one of the best coffee beans in the world, the Peaberry coffee bean. Kona Peaberry coffee produces a satisfying rich cup of coffee and is the reason it is one of the most sought after coffee beans.

There are many brands of coffee sold in Hawaii, but only one that has been specifically marked “Kona Peaberry Coffee.” Only coffee grown in a specific area of Kona can be called Peaberry and is graded “prime.” It is one of the only beans in Hawaii that has received the grade of “prime” and is stamped that way on the package. Do not accept substitutions.

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.

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