Information about our Estate Grown 100% Kona Coffee
Kona King Coffee produces high altitude, estate grown 100% Kona Coffee from our farm located in the Kona Coffee Belt. Our coffee benefits from the high altitude and rich, deep volcanic soil. The high altitude ensures that our coffee has an ideal amount of rainfall, which produces healthy beans. The deep volcanic soil provides the nutrients which produce a rich, flavorful tasting coffee. Many people think our Kona Coffee is some of the smoothest they have tasted. Visit our Online Store for details and prices. Or if you are in the Kona area, stop by the Keauhou Farmers Market to visit us - there is more information on the Contact Us page.
The process of Grading of Kona Coffee consists of passing the green coffee beans through various sizing sieves. The Hawaii Department of Agriculture defines what constitutes the grades Kona Extra Fancy, Kona Fancy, Kona Number 1, etc. These grades are based not only on size but also appearance of the green beans. Kona Extra Fancy coffee beans are the largest, highest quality beans.
Kona Peaberry are also called Type II beans. In a typical coffee cherry, 2 beans develop inside the roundish fruit. These are called Type I beans. The 2 beans develop their characteristic flat face due to the presence of the other bean. In a small percentage of coffee cherry, typically 3-5%, only a single bean develops. These are commonly called Peaberry, and are round and smaller than a typical bean.
COFFEE GRADES
| We are currently offering 3 grades of our Estate grown coffee: | |
| Estate Grade | Our Estate Kona Coffee contains Fancy, Number 1, Select and Prime beans providing a smooth, rich flavor. |
| Extra Fancy Grade | Our Extra Fancy Kona Coffee contains beans that are larger than the normal bean size allowing for a fuller, rich, well-rounded flavor. |
| Peaberry | Considered the highest grade of coffee, peaberry consists of the smaller "pea" beans, which generally occur in only about 3% of a coffee crop. The smaller size leads to a more intense flavor. |
COFFEE ROASTS
| Medium | Our Medium roast results in a bean that has been roasted to just before the second crack. The beans have a slight sheen from oils just starting to come to the surface. |
| Medium Dark | Our Medium Dark roast results in a bean that is a moderately dark brown color, with some light surface oil. Roasting has proceeded into the second crack. |
