I’m a very big fan of coffee, almost as big a fan as this bean is big. I have a cup (almost every morning). Grind beans > boil water> use the french press> Pour in cup > drink. I have the process down.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drinking TJ’s brand FrenchRoast 100% Arabica from WhoKnowsWhere, it is good. I do remember drinking the stuff that tastes brown, and still do when dining at a local diner. It goes well with the atmosphere. But, I much prefer the Aribica beans.
On Monday, I ordered some of Blue Horse‘s Dark Roast, It’s now Friday and I’m enjoying an interesting cup of joe. It is different than what I’m used to drinking.
The Kona does taste very good, I’ll even go as far as excellent. It reminds me of the outdoors and makes me want to go camping. The description is really eluding me, luckily they have the Taste Defnition chart to my rescue. I’ll go with Nutty and chocolaty, Very earthy, but not like dirt. It’s not bitter, it’s not fruity.
$22 shipped directly from their site. If you think the price is high, check out their Kona Coffee Economics page. Any Fair trade coffee should be at least 15 bucks per pound. This is the best $$$ I’ve spent on Coffee in years. See the 10 Reasons 100% Kona Coffee Tastes better (I think you’ll agree).

10 reasons why you may find that this 100% Kona coffee tastes better:
|
1) Shade grown BLUE HORSE KONA coffee beans come from the famous Kona region, located on the Big Island of Hawaii. Kona’s young volcanic soil, unique weather pattern of bright sunny mornings and cloudy afternoons produce the ideal micro climate for this tropical plant. You will find that naturally shade grown coffees produces milder, more flavorful coffee beans.
2) Hand picked Our century old Hawaiian Kona trees are hand picked to obtain the best crop, assuring that only the reddest, ripest and finest cherries make it into your cup. The steep, rocky terrain of our plantation is perfect for the coffea arabica trees, yet it does not lend itself well to mechanical cultivation or harvesting, so most of the work must be done by hand.
3) Unrushed The 3 keywords for the best Hawaiian Kona coffees are: Wet-processed. Sun dried. Parchment stored. These traditional methods require much time, labor and experience, but are essential to the superb aroma and quality of pure Kona coffee beans. Coffee doesn’t like to be rushed. You don’t down a cup of it either – you sip it, right?
4) Pesticide free, herbicide free, kosher Our trees produce year after year superb naturally flavored Konacoffee beans with a mellow body and delicate fragrant notes. We apply mulch and other organic plant matter to enrich the already nutritious, young Hawaiian soil throughout the year and don’t use pesticides or herbicides. The island environment is fragile and we need to conserve and protect it for everybody. BLUE HORSE KONA coffee is grown, processed, roasted and packaged in accordance with Jewish dietary guidelines or “Kashrut”. There are absolutely NO emulsifiers, additives, preservatives, colorings or flavors used, nor are any other foods products processed on our farm. What you’ll get is kosher 100 Kona coffee, the way nature intended it to be.
5) Authentic small family estate Family owned Hawaiian Kona farms produce the finest coffea arabica Kona beans, because out here in the woods on an island we really depend on each other. There’s no ‘management turnover’ and more accountability. We have to think in generations and not only from paycheck to paycheck. The BLUE HORSE KONAcoffee farm isn’t one of those ‘gentlemen farms’ either, where other people do the work and its owners get a tax write off. Nor are we buying cherries from other farms and sell it under our label.
6) Fresh roasting We roast only small batches 2-3 times a week; then package and ship our product immediately afterwards to preserve its freshness. The essential flavored oils of Hawaiian Kona coffee are delicate and fade quickly when coming in contact with oxygen. So our zip locked, valve sealed bags let roasting gases out, but no oxygen back in. Unopened, these bags conserve the Hawaiian Kona coffee flavors for many months.
7) Lowest, farm-direct pricing No processors, food brokers, shippers, handlers, dock- and storage managers, roasters, e.g. are in between you and us. This allows us to sell the ‘real deal’ of pure Kona coffee beans at online prices cheap compared to others. Get your BLUE HORSE KONA COFFEE while this offer lasts!
8) Fast & Free Shipping To cause no checkout-surprises we include handling, shipping cost & taxes. Once purchased we’ll mail your Kona coffee beans most of the times on the same day. USPS Priority Mail normally takes 2 – 4 days to reach your mail box with this Free Shipping offer. Depending on the desired amount, your Hawaiian Kona coffee will arrive in either a simple functional envelope or plain carton.

9) State Inspected & Certified Similar to real Champagne from the same named region in France, pure Hawaiian Kona coffee is distinguished from other coffees not only by region and its ideal growing conditions, but also by the enormous amount of care taken throughout each step. Beware of cheap brands calling themselves Kona coffee ‘Blend’, ‘Style’ or ‘Roast’ – it’s anything but from Hawaii! Also Ebay is full of impostors right next to the genuine pure Kona coffee beans.
