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.
The Peaberry bean is less acidic than other coffee beans and, due to its unusual football shape, roasts differently producing a richer more robust taste. It is a very rare bean and is classified as “Extra Fancy.” The Peaberry plant produces this abnormally shaped bean that accounts for only five percent of the coffee crop. Instead
of the bean having a two sides, the Peaberry bean is one solid cylinder looking 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 Kona Peaberry 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.
The only truly satisfying cup of coffee will be Kona Peaberry coffee, if you are
willing to pay a little more.
