Food and Cooking Tips

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 satisfyingly rich cup of coffee and is the reason it is one of the most sought after coffee beans.

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.

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.

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.
