I would like to thank Kona Rose Coffee for providing me with
the first full-sized bag of kona coffee I’ve had in my life. For some reason,
due to the size of the bag I received, I couldn’t get a solid read on what
their coffee was all about. Don’t get me wrong. It tasted great and enjoyed
every minute I spent consuming it; however, I had a hard time getting enough of
it. By the time I spent tasting this coffee was over, I struggled with coming
up with the right words to describe it.
I guess the confusion I’m feeling currently has a lot to do
with the proximity of Kona Rose Coffee and the start of my testing process. That’s
also why it took me longer to write this review than the other ones about kona
coffee. I wanted to come up with the right words to describe the output from
this company. I approach every company the same way. I would rather take longer
to write a review than release something I’m not proud of or would disrespect
the company in any way.
I wish I had more glowing praise for the coffee. The
lukewarm nature of my prose should not be seen as condemnation for their
product. On the contrary, I thought the coffee was exceptional in every sense
of the word. It simply didn’t elicit the reaction needed to produce mountains
of text. I would recommend their coffee to anyone who’s in the market for kona.
I’ve found that their products are available for less than their competitors in
this genre.
I would happily welcome re-reviewing this product if I were
given access to larger amounts of it. Recently, I decided that I would stop
going for product samplers when I request products. Full-sized products are
more worthwhile because they allow for additional tastings in the event that
inspiration is somehow lacking. I do not fault any company who wants to provide
me with a sample size of their product. I just feel like the reviews of companies
who sent me smaller products are much less convincing than those of companies
who sent me exactly what their customers receive.
I firmly believe it’s possible for a type of coffee to be
great and not inspire the same feelings as coffees from other companies. This
doesn’t mean that the coffee in question is somehow less than. Measuring the
value of a cup of coffee is challenging because it’s all subjective. One person
might like a certain type of coffee that everyone else hates. That’s okay.
Finding the right coffee for you, whether it’s Kona Rose Coffee or something
from some other company, is all a part of the journey.
