Satisfying Kona Peaberry Coffee

Kona Hawaii has the perfect climate, elevation and equatorial location to produce one of the best coffee beans in the world, the Peaberry coffee bean. Kona Peaberry coffee produces a satisfying rich cup of coffee and is the reason it is one of the most sought after coffee beans.

There are many brands of coffee sold in Hawaii, but only one that has been specifically marked “Kona Peaberry Coffee.” Only coffee grown in a specific area of Kona can be called Peaberry and is graded “prime.” It is one of the only beans in Hawaii that has received the grade of “prime” and is stamped that way on the package. Do not accept substitutions.

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.

A French Press coffee pot is the best method with which to taste the great flavor of Kona Peaberry coffee. The brewing in the press produces a smooth rich flavor cup of coffee. Peaberry coffee is a less acidic yet bolder coffee bean and being brewed in a press would produce the ultimate cup of coffee.

When purchasing a package of Kona Peaberry Coffee inspect the ingredient label carefully. It can only be called that if it is 100% Kona Peaberry Coffee. It may say that it is a “Kona” blend. That could mean that it is part Hawaiian coffee, possibly grown in other areas, and a small part Kona Peaberry Coffee.

The only truly satisfying cup of coffee will be Kona Peaberry coffee, if you are willing to pay a little more.
