I’m on a bit of a kona kick lately. In the coffee world,
there’s a certain mythology that surrounds kona coffee. If you’re someone who’s
in the market for a good cup of joe, chances are not too much time will pass
before kona is brought up.
Kona coffee is stronger on flavor and potency than most
coffee varieties you will try. The people who produce this coffee are some of
the most passionate individuals you will ever meet. Their dedication to their
craft shows in the quality of the products they put forth.
I recently reached out to many kona coffee producers. The results
were mixed, but I was able to make some great contacts. I plan to continue this
project until I’m able to explore the breadth of the kona world. It’s difficult
to know how far something goes if you never follow it through to its end.
Whenever I dip into a certain segment of the coffee
industry, I always feel like an interloper. All these coffee companies get requests
for free products all the time. I understand when their first response is to
treat me like an irritant. My goal is to be anything but that. I envision building
partnerships with the companies about which I write in the hopes that it will
form a sustaining bond that will lead to many more pieces of content.
Prior to my time reviewing coffee, I read how many other writers
approached the topic. I found that they were not invested in what they were
talking about. They put out words about the topic, but the meaning behind those
words left a lot to be desired. I want to treat each article like a personal
conversation where I bring you to into the experience I have trying out these
coffees.
Coffee is not serious. It’s wonderful. I love drinking it and
I want to tell you about why it’s so great. The kona side of the coffee world
is truly magical. I received some samples from a few purveyors. I will be talking
about them first. After that I will make an effort to contact more in the hopes
of fleshing out this section of the blog with more content.
