Delectable Kona Peaberry Coffee is Agreeably Aromatic
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.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.
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.
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.
If you are comparing prices you may think you are getting a high grade coffee by purchasing one called "Estate." "Estate" is not a grade of Kona coffee. The Kona coffee council defines "Estate" as "the product of one farm, unmixed with crops from other farms and processed through to roast under the control of that farm." Processing companies buy coffee in cherry form (right off the tree) from many farms in Hawaii. They combine these all the way through to roasting and market it under their own label.
The only truly satisfying cup of coffee will be Kona Peaberry coffee, if you are willing to pay a little more.
