I would like to present to you information I've recently found about different World Coffees.
Initially we'll start with my favorite, Kona Coffee.
Grown on the mountain slopes above Kailua-Kona, it is the one and only place you can receive certified Kona coffee.
Visitors to the farms there, are provided historically accurate interpretations, personalized attention, and treated to hands-on demonstrations by guides and costumed interpreters who engage visitors in meaningful activities and "talk-story" conversations.
Processors represent only themselves.
You normally buy your gas from Exxon/Mobil, Citgo, Shell, or Sam's, wherever you might find the least expensive or most convenient.
Processors of the coffee purchase coffee cherry (ie: the raw fruit off the tree) from many farmers, and thus have no control over how the coffee is grown, cultivated, fertilized.
The coffee that is produced then is a blend of many different Kona farms.
Visitors will tour the farm kitchens, which have changed little since they were first constructed.
Farm sizes on Kona average 3 acres, with a few farms of 50+ acres.
The total acreage of Kona coffee is over 2000 acres and their annual production is generally two million pounds and over.
Farmers experienced ups and downs during WWII, but the sales now have slowly progressed and have been booming for the last 60 years.
Hawaiian pheasants journey the gardens each evening as the breezes come down the mountain.
This delectable Coffee is grown on the dark volcanic lava rock slopes of Kona, a district for which it gets its name from, located on the west coast of the Big Island of Hawaii.
Coffee grown in Kona is special because of the magically bright sunny mornings, rainy afternoons, and mild breezy nights creating perfect growing conditions for exotic coffee beans to flourish.
Kona Coffee is representative of all the best trait's of the island it is born and nurtured in, the island is mild in nature, sweet in disposition and just a little "sassy" when it wants to be.
You want something to wake you up, drink chicory, from New Orleans, however if what you crave is a sedate cup of warm, sweet delight, Kona is the one for you.
Try Some!
