$20-25 a pound at the plantation. Generally shipped home as gifts or
hand carried to the mainland.

For a while (80's) Bennigans Restaurant ground and brewed Royal Kona beans.
It was the first time I tasted Kona beans. Loved it.

It's not the same without Hawaiian water. There's something about the water
staying in the aquafier for such great lengths of time that adds
significantly to the taste of the coffee. I just couldn't make the same cup
of coffee back here. I generally default back to Arabica beans when I can
find them, but I don't search gourmet coffee shops. Whatever is available
in the morning is good enough. It's got to be really great coffee to make
me want to drink coffee all day anymore.

"Derogatory pejoratives" is [if it were a correct use of the word "pejorative", which it ain't]
redundant, as are the vast majority of your other dumbass posts.

If you'd looked up the two words you would realize there is a
difference in meaning between the two.

Kind of interesting criteria you have for posting. I guess it depends
on whether you think you have an opportunity to tell someone you ****
on them or you will beat there ass.

Yeah... you're an english major [not]... why don't you learn the differences in the 3 spelling of
"there" before you start to critique other usage of the language.

FWIW, the word 'subderisorious' would have sufficed in lieu of "derogatory pejoratives" [BTW, the word
"pejorative" is an adjective, which can not be plural. It's meaning is 'derogatory', 'belittling',
'disparaging', implying or imputing evil; deprecatory; or unfavorable... which is pretty much what
'derogatory' means isn't it.

In your use, it certainly was redundant.

While I have no cause to offer to kick your ass... I would invite you to go **** your mother. Sorry, I
have no patience for fools and morons...

There's a mom-and-pop coffee store around here that has Kona for about
$26/pound. Want me to bring you some when I come to Nashville for NAMM
in a couple of weeks? I've never had the heart or wallet to try it
myself.

As a FORMER coffee junkie (from the city that is second only to Seattle for coffee
junkies) I can tell you this:

MOST Kona isn't Kona

Same with the top Jamaican

last time I looked (or cared) the reportage was that twice as much coffee is SOLD as
Kona as they grow there.

And only the best stuff is really worth a damn anyway.

NOW, that said, find your self some aged Sumatra or aged Java....

VERY rare but half the price. Incredibly smooth, will never destroy your tummy.

And the only coffee that is better when older. Not as rich as REAL Kona but who
cares ??

LOL

I am down to the last 1/2 pound from the late MUCH-lamented Coffee Connection
(bought out and destroyed by Charbucks...).It is 5 years old and JUST beginning to
fade. Kept in a zero degree chest freezer, mind you!

Sigh. Glad I kicked the habit, most of what you can buy these days ain't worth
drinking!
