Hawaiian Kona Coffee has a rich, vast bodied taste that you can’t find
in any other coffee. Kona is grown on the largest Hawaiian island. Most
of the coffee farms located in Kona are referred to as the Golden Coast
of Hawaii. These farms are run locally by families that have been
farming for generations.
There
are several different grades of Hawaiian coffee to select from,
depending on the class and size of the beans harvested. Several
companies will offer 100% Kona coffee, but you should be careful when
selecting your coffee. One of the Kona coffees is a Kona Blend
which usually only has about 10% Kona coffee beans in it. The rest of
the blend comes from other coffees from Africa, Brazil, and Indonesia,
which are a lower class of coffee beans.
Kona
coffee is sun dried right on the island, and then it is shipped to
Roast Masters through-out the world. The coffee is either roasted to a
perfect light, medium, and dark roast. The beans are freshest right
after roasting, but purchasing coffee in air tight packages and then
freezing them will provide for a longer shelf life. Just remember once
you take your coffee out of the freezer do not re-freeze. This will
destroy the coffee taste.
Medium
roasted coffees tend to take on a robust, spirited flavor. Some call
medium roasted coffee full city or Vienna roast. Darker roast are more
full bodied in flavor and usually contain less caffeine than their
counterparts. Dark roast is considered French or Italian roast methods.
Whether
you visit the Big island of Hawaii, or not there is several different
ways you can enjoy the rich flavor of 100% Kona Coffee. You might not be
able to find a full Kona blend at your local store, but you can find
100% Kona Coffee on the Internet.
