Kona Coffee: Flavor of Hawaii
Executive Summary about Kona Coffee by Tomira L. Rosser

Kona Coffee. True Kona coffee is grown only in the northern and southern parts of the mountainous Kona region in Hawaii. Kona coffee is a medium-bodied coffee, which is so flavorful that it has become the second most popular coffee of choice. Kona's character can be identified by its aromatic blend and rich flavor, boasting trace elements of spice and wine in each drop.

No other coffee can proudly claim the Kona name. The majority of the Kona plantations are family owned and operated. The beans are hand picked and processed to ensure a premium coffee unlike any other. Special care is taken throughout the process of creating the Kona coffee bean. The sunny mornings, cloud-covered rainy afternoons and mild nights create an ideal growing condition for the best Kona coffee.

The Peaberry coffee bean is the superior Kona bean by far. Most coffee trees produce cherries which contain two beans, but the Peaberry only has one bean. This variety is developed when one side of the coffee tree's flower blends and fuses with the other side. The result is one coffee bean which is richer and more concentrated than two separate beans.

Kona coffee growers also pride themselves on delivering fresh beans to ensure the highest quality in every cup. When you're thirsty for a more flavorful cup of coffee, Kona coffee is the superior choice.
