Delicious Kona Peaberry Coffee Will Not Disappoint

By: Mary Swanson
 

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.

Kona Peaberry coffee is classified as "Extra Fancy" and costs more not only because you are getting a bigger and denser bean, but because you are also getting a rarer bean and only accounts for approximately 5% of the coffee bean crop. Peaberry is a "freak of nature" so to speak, and occurs when the coffee cherry yields only one bean instead of two. The Peaberry bean is shaped like a football; it is not flat on one side and round on the other, like a regular coffee bean. It also has a lower acid content than regular beans. Some believe that the cylindrical shape causes this bean to roast differently than a regular bean giving it a much different taste.

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.

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.
