Although the cultivation of coffee began quite recently on the island, around 1828, Kona Hawaii has always been considered, together with Jamaica Blue Mountain (which is of same variety), the most prestigious coffee in the world. The plantations from which this coffee comes are located on the island of Kona, where Captain Cook first arrived in the eighteenth century.
A cup of Hawaii Kona coffee truly evokes the delicacy of the tropical breeze!
For this evaluation, the coffee was extracted in espresso at 94°C with an extraction of 25 ml in 27 seconds. The degassing of the coffee took around 48 hours. The crema is of a light hazelnut in color, while the aromas are slightly herbaceous and fruity, reminding us of pineapple and white peach. The taste of this coffee is not full-bodied, with a marked but not intrusive acidity and a light bitterness.
