roughly only 3% of the beans are considered peaberry cherries hold just one small oval-shaped bean instead of two flat-sided beans. These small oval beans are called "peaberry" beans. They have a more intense flavor...Some coffee afficianados...consider this the Dom Perignon or Cristal of Coffee.... I like the flavor..I have my guy roast them DARK...instead of medium....you cannot make a bad cup o'joe with peaberry... even if you overdo the beans...the flavor holds up ...
Hey, everybody has to like something. True Kona is unbelieveable. Hard to find.

so would it be reasonable to assume that the majority of peaberry coffee that i've had in the past was, in fact, not the real stuff?
All coffee varietals have peaberry beans....it's just that nature decides which ones have like two pods instead of one.... it's a pain in the neck for the growers to seperate these...there are so few beans..but the GOOD growers will..and roast them seperately when they get enough to roast. Some growers in Hawaii..only get maybe 2 to 3 lbs per year..and they keep those for themselves...I had to find a mid level farmer that I befriended...and sent a box of Anejo's to...along with a signature bottle of George D'Latour... took me like 3 years to recoup that cost LOL
Even my local Starbucks...doesn't get TRUE peaberry..or even Kona for that matter. CWS is 100% right on...READ THE LABEL... usually will say "blend".... that means less than 10% kona beans....
I guarantee my beans are 100% real kona....

Awesome. I keep looking for the pure stuff. Tried a number of sites but luck was limited and product was spotty at best. Good job.
At home I've been drinking Mexican Chiapas by Higher Ground Roasters. In the office it's good ol' Eight O'Clock 100% Colombian (dark brown bag). Love em both!

For me this morning it was a medium blend from Misty Valley Ethiopia. Tastes like blueberries!
So my families business is coffee roasting. If you want great coffee, find a local artisan roaster that specializes in single origin, free trade organic coffee (these will be the Pete Johnson's of the coffee world) and you should not be disappointed. Most will have "cuppings" once a week or month, and this is an opportunity to come in and taste and learn about their roasting techniques.

Kojak - that sounds amazing!
I LOVE my coffee, but have yet to ascend to the levels of snobbery you've acheived. If you ever want to set up a 'lil' trade, let me know!
Until then, I'll stick with my Killer Beans, Black Dog & Peets.
Now, excuse me - I need to go brew.
