If you like good coffee, you know that the 100% Kona coffee is everything the coffee lover ever hoped for.

If you are just browsing for coffee, take a close look at the label, because some retailers sell Kona Blends.

These are not a combination of different Kona coffees, but a blend of Kona and Colombian, Brazilian or other coffees.

They use terms like Kona Roast, or Kona Style. Hawaiian law requires blends to state the percentage of Kona coffee on the label.

The authentic Kona coffee display the words "100% Kona Coffee" on the label.

Kona coffee is an arabica coffee cultivated on the slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Loa.

Only coffee from the Kona Districts can be legally described as Kona.

The unique Kona weather pattern of sunny mornings, cloud cover or rain in the afternoons, little wind and mild nights combined with porous, mineral rich volcanic soil, creates favorable coffee growing conditions.

According to the seed type the Kona coffee beans are classified in two types:

• Type I beans : two beans per berry, flat on one side oval on the other.
• Type II beans : one round bean per berry, otherwise known as a peaberry.

Kona Extra fancy, Kona fancy, Kona Number 1, and Kona Prime are the grades of Type I Kona coffee.

Peaberry Number 1 and Peaberry Prime are the grades of Type II Kona coffee.

There is also a lower grade of coffee called Number 3 which can not legally be labeled as Kona.

The coffee loses its freshness and flavor if it is exposed to: air, moisture, heat and light. Once the bag of freshly kona beans are opened, roll down the bag and close it tightly to keep air exposure to a minimum.

The beans can also be transferred to a ceramic airtight container. Stored away from light, air, heat and moisture, the beans will stay fresh for several weeks.

Freezing coffee is not a good idea, freezing breaks down the aromatic oils in roasted coffee. Breaking down the oils means taking away flavor.
