Kona Coffee: Catch the Buzz

by Jody Reale on June 25th, 2008

CoffeeCoffeeCoffeeOn the Big Island, there are many a fragrance to be sniffed.  The flowers, the ocean air. The coffee.

If you’re a coffee lover–and even if you aren’t, you’ve probably heard that Kona Coffee is some of the best in the world. Personally, I agree, but beware: Not all “Kona Coffee” is the real deal. Look for the labels that say 100% Kona Coffee. Yes, you’ll pay a premium for it, but you might as well stay home with Mrs. Olson for the quality you’ll find in the brands that fill their bags with a high percentage of other coffees, like Columbian or Brazilian.

To really catch the Kona coffee buzz, head to the 2008 Kona Coffee Festival in November; it’s Hawaii’s oldest food festival, and if you’ve ever wanted to meet Miss Kona Coffee, here’s your chance.
