Kona Blend Coffee
Kona blend coffee is one of a kind. It is
truly one of the most sought after coffees available. So let's
take a look at this marvelous treat.
Hawaiian Kona coffee is, as the name suggests, grown in
Hawaii. Mount Hualalai and Mauna Loa are the two main locations
where this coffee is harvested, and both are located in what is
known as the Kona Districts. Others may use the name Kona blend
coffee, but coffee grown in these district is the only coffee
that can truthfully use the name. Some say it's the soil in the
region, while others claim it's the weather, but more
accurately, it's probably a combination of both that makes Kona
coffee some of the highest quality coffee on the market. These
districts have bright sunshine during the early morning hours,
and plenty of rains to nourish the soil and the trees.
If you are looking for pure Kona coffee, know that you are
seeking something premium and very rare. As such it is one of
the most costly coffees you can get. Be prepared to pay well
for it.
These coffee cherries are hand picked carefully in the
months of August through January. Once picked, they are pulped
quickly and put in fermentation tanks. From picking to being
placed in the tanks all happens within a 24 hour stretch. Once
the coffee is fermented, it is spread out to dry, a process
that takes between 1 and 2 weeks. The parchment is then roasted
and the result is pure Kona. But it takes 9 pounds to coffee
cherries to make a single pound of roasted Kona. That's why it
is so rare, and also why it is so expensive.
This however does not mean drinking Kona is out of your
price range. Manufacturers like Starbucks blend Kona with other
coffee's for sale. Most of the time it means about 10% Kona.
The result is that you can enjoy this unique and wonderful
experience without taking out a second mortgage on your
home.
Generally the blends will also use high quality Brazilian or
Colombian coffee to mix with the Kona. You end up with a coffee
that has a very distinct and unique taste. A Kona blend will
produce a light-bodies drink with a somewhat sweet smell and
taste the instantly elevate your mood. To experience this
coffee at it's best, put the cream and sugar away and enjoy the
clear smooth taste.
We know coffee lovers are always on the lookout for that
ultimate drinking experience. With a Kona blend coffee you can
have that every day in your own home.
