geeks review kona old style coffee

Anne purchases most of her coffees from a Hawaiian producer. She fell in love with Hawaiian coffees during our visit to Kauai on our tenth wedding anniversary.
When her coffee contact in Hawaii discovered that my coffee masters were interested in trying some special Hawaiian coffees, he shipped us three to try. They were all award winning coffees from competitions on the islands.
Of the three, the coffee pictured on the left was by far the favorite among our coffee masters. This is "Kona Old Style" from the Kuaiwi Farm. Many of the trees on the estate were planted in 1895!
The coffee masters' comments included:

A very smooth coffee with a medium-dark roast

Soft, smooth, and chocolaty

Has a cleaner finish than some Konas

The coffee cherry makes a nice, subtle appearance

Super smooth with a balanced aroma

Even better when paired with a light chocolate, or maybe ice cream
Please note that these are the personal opinions of my team, and should not be construed as an official endorsement by Starbucks. You can find out more about this coffee by visiting their website at www.kuaiwifamr.com. I would like to thank Roger Rodwell, at the Kahala Trading Company, for providing us with this fine selection. Updated July 22: For a broad selection of Hawaiian coffees, Roger suggests his primary source for his coffees: The Hawaiian Isles Kona Coffee Company. Anne's favorite is the Kona Chocolate Macadamia Nut, although she misses the Kona Cookies and Cream, which is no longer offered.
