Hawaii Roasters Award Winning 100% Kona Coffee, Whole Bean, Medium Roast, 5 Lb
For years, visitors to Hawaii have been bringing a taste of Hawaii home with them in the form of 100% Kona coffee. Now you can have it shipped directly to you. The unique environment of the tiny Kona Coffee Belt, only about 2 miles by 15 miles, creates the ideal growing conditions for premium quality coffee beans. Coffee trees flourish on the Kona volcanic slopes under warm morning sunshine and afternoon cloud cover. Individually hand-picking the coffee cherries at the peak of ripeness, our coffee is then sun-dried to bring out its characteristic flavor. The final step is artisan micro-roasting at the sustainable farm in small batches, helping to ensure the freshness of each and every bag of Hawaii Roasters 100% Kona coffee..
We tried this coffee after having brought home some 100% Kona coffee from Hawaii several years back. We ordered this along with some Jamaican Blue Mountain and a few other types of higher-end coffees.This is by far the best of the lot. It has a rich and complex taste with an almost nutty or fruity background character. Growing as it does on the lava slopes of the hawaiian islands, the beans pick up a significant amount of flavor from the rich soil. Although we are not frequent coffee drinkers or 'coffee-snobs', when we do drink coffee, this is what we drink. It's good enough that we went to the trouble of buying a good grinder and moving from ground to whole-bean just to get the added flavor.
