Enjoying the perfect cup of coffee is almost every coffee lover's dream. Kona Peaberry coffee can provide that delicious cup satisfaction guaranteed. Due to the perfect combination of sun and rain, elevation and location, Kona, Hawaii is famous for growing this perfect bean. It is a very dark and rich bean that is shipped all over the world.

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.

Kona Peaberry coffee is classified as "Extra Fancy" and costs more not only because you are getting a bigger and denser bean, but because you are also getting a rarer bean and only accounts for approximately 5% of the coffee bean crop. Peaberry is a "freak of nature" so to speak, and occurs when the coffee cherry yields only one bean instead of two. The Peaberry bean is shaped like a football; it is not flat on one side and round on the other, like a regular coffee bean. It also has a lower acid content than regular beans. Some believe that the cylindrical shape causes this bean to roast differently than a regular bean giving it a much different taste.

It has been said that coffee prepared in a French Press coffee pot is the best way to taste the actual flavor of the coffee bean. If you have Kona Peaberry coffee beans what better way to thoroughly enjoy their bold yet smooth flavor.

Do not be ripped off by other Hawaiian blends claiming to be pure Kona 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.

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