Where to Find Fresh Hawaiian Kona Coffee
Most of those who try coffee get hooked off their first sip. It is grown in Hawaii and Kona coffee is known for its unique balance the is unbeatable taste. Kona coffee, one of the most exquisite and luxurious coffees known to man, is grown on the slopes of Mauna Loa and Mount Hualalai, in the northern part of Hawaii, as well as many districts found on Oahu.
You can be sure to get the tastiest coffee when you purchase gourmet coffees like Kona. Although Kona coffee is higher priced than other coffee blends, it is definitely worth the price. Besides, people from all over the world purchase this kind of coffee. The coffee gets its unique and flavorful due to the weather conditions that it is grown in.
These high-quality Kona coffee beans grow on plants whose cuttings came from Brazil. Rev. Samuel Ruggles is credited with bringing the first tree to Hawaii, way back in the 19th century. Because the weather and soil in Hawaii are highly conducive to crop production, many opportunistic farmers grow beans on large plantations. There are more than 2,300 acres where fresh gourmet Kona coffee beans are grown. The cultivation of fresh, gourmet Kona coffee beans is so successful that some two million pounds are produced every year.
The blooms of the Kona tree appear every February and March, which appears as tiny white flowers, commonly called Kona Snow. Then in early spring, small green berries pop up which by mid-summer, have turned to red fruit, which look similar to ripe cherries. This is the time when the “fruit” is ripe and should be harvested. Hand-picked beans are the thing that makes Kona coffee so decedant.
Twenty four hours after the fruit is collected, it is run through a machine that makes sure the bean is separate from the pulp. This is followed by carefully-controlled fermentation of the beans, for 12 hours at lower elevations and for 24 hours at higher elevations. The beans are soaked and then placed on a special rack where they naturally dry during the next week or two. They place the dry beans are stored on parchment. Eight pounds of fruit are required to make one pound of fresh and gourmet Kona coffee.
You will even find that fresh, gourmet Kona coffee is classified by the type of seed. To cite and example, the number of beans in one cherry or fruit for the Type I is two which has one flat side and another oval. The single, round bean found per cherry in some varieties is known as a Type II bean. Further grading would be based on several factors, including size and type, moisture content, and purity. A better version of the Kona bean is evident when purchasing gourmet Kona coffee.
