HAWAIIAN KONA X-FANCY COFFEE What can we get from this smooth bodied, superb aroma and a buttery rich tasting coffee? Can we get more than enhanced mood and alertness from this beverage?
Well, the answer is yes. Recent studies have shown that coffee contains more than caffeine and yes it is rich in minerals and anti-oxidants. Considering the area from which this coffee is grown it would not be surprising that it would be rich with mineral content and anti-oxidants.
Coffee normally grows in places of rich fertile soil, noticeably volcanic soils, in high altitude and in tropical weather. It is said that fruits achieve their perfect nutritious state when grown on fertile land and watered and exposed to the right amount of sunlight. Fruits which are left to ripen before picking are said to have the perfect nutritional value. That is an almost the perfect description of coffee in Kona Hawaii. Kona coffee is grown on the southwestern coast of Hawaii. For a decade and a half this Hawaiian coffee has been harvested in the region and has been classified as high quality coffee. Interestingly, this coffee defies one of the usual known requirements needed in growing perfect coffee, the elevation. Hawaiian Kona coffee is grown in a relatively low altitude. However, this coffee from Hawaii displays the characteristics and qualities of superior coffee. In fact, Kona coffee beans are some of the most sought after coffee beans in the world. Hawaiian Kona coffee is grown on the slopes of Mount Loa above the Pacific. The condition of the shade grown coffee resembles that of Kona coffee, in the sense that both of them undergo a slow growing and ripening process. Shade grown coffee have the taller trees for shade that causes the slow ripening of the cherries or coffee beans and for the Kona coffee, the natural climate of Hawaii provides a prefect cloud to shade the coffee from the intense rays of the sun. It is nature’s process of perfectly “cooking” this 100% Kona coffee to perfection. These conditions along with the fertile volcanic soil have made Hawaiian coffee give more than just alertness. It is also a good source of potassium, patothenic acid and riboflavin, and trace minerals like, magnesium, thiamin, niacin, phosphorous, folate and manganese. Hawaiian coffee is graded according to the bean size, uniformity and quality. There are four grades assigned and these are; “extra fancy”, “fancy”, “#1” and “prime”. Kona coffee perfectly deserves to be graded as “extra fancy” with its refined and smooth body, superior aroma, with the rich taste of butter, cinnamon and clove overtones. Next time you drink this Hawaiian Kona X-Fancy coffee, remember you are not just drinking to be alert; you are also drinking for your health. |
