Where are some places to locate gourmet Kona coffee?
Becoming addicted is almost a given once someone takes their first sip of this type of coffee. Kona coffee which originates from Hawaii, has rare properties that make it a perfect choice for your next cup of coffee. Grown on the slopes of Mauna Loa and Mount Hualalai in the north part of the state, as well as many Kona districts found on Oahu, this is one of the best coffees known.
Purchasing fresh, gourmet Kona coffee will result in the best cup of coffee that's ever hit your palate. You pay more for Kona coffee but the quality and taste is worth a few extra bucks. After all, people from around the globe buy this particular type of coffee. The climate, which is made up of beautiful bright mornings and humid afternoons, is perfect for growing unique flavorful coffee.
These high-quality Kona coffee beans grow on plants whose cuttings came from Brazil. In the 1800's, Hawaii saw Samuel Reverend Ruggles bring the first try of it's kind to the island. When they learned that the weather and soil in Hawaii was excellent for growing coffee, farmers started large plantations where they could grow the beans. Kona coffee beans are cultivated over an area that exceeds 2,300 acres, as per current estimates. Kona coffee cultivation is now so successful that about two million pounds of the beans are harvested per year.
The blooms of the Kona tree appear every February and March, which appears as tiny white flowers, commonly called Kona Snow. The green berries of the Spring turn to red fruit in the summertime that resembles cherries. At that time, the “fruit” is ready to be harvested. By hand-picking every coffee bean, the freshness of gourmet Kona coffee is ensured.
Within 24 hours of the fruit being harvested it is put through an apparatus that separates the pulpy matter from the bean itself. After that, the beans are allowed to ferment for 12 hours at low elevation and 24 hours at higher elevation. After rinsing, the beans are spread out on a type of drying rack to dry out completely, which usually takes one to two weeks. The dry beans are then stored on parchment. Interestingly, to produce just one pound of fresh, gourmet Kona coffee, it takes approximately eight pounds of fruit.
Gourmet Kona coffee beans are categorized by seed type. 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. Beans of the Type II variety have only one bean per berry or fruit and that bean is round. Then based on a number of factors to include size, type, moisture content, purity, and so on would determine further grading. A better version of the Kona bean is evident when purchasing gourmet Kona coffee.
