"Peet's KONA is mild and smooth with sweet flavors and is available to order beginning February 5," says the Winter 2001 Newsletter. They go on to explain that they have searched long and hard for certified KONA coffee. "Several years ago, one unscrupulous company substituted lower cost Central American coffee for expensive Kona, and bilked many customers. The Kona industry is still recovering, but the state did implement a law that now required all Kona coffee to be inspected, graded and certified as true to the origin."
Other companies also roast and sell Kona coffee. I have mentioned some of these roasters in previous articles. As always, take my articles as only a steering mechanism toward broader coffee sources for your daily cup o' joe. If you try some of Peet's Kona, drop me a line and let me have your review, or better yet, post in the discussions following this article.
