As I sit here writing this blog, I'm waiting for the truck to arrive that is carrying a pallet of coffee. On that pallet is a bag of Kona Extra Fancy from Greenwell Farms. It will be here today.

This is pretty exciting news for you. Kona is a coffee that we don't get very often- once or twice a year. Hawaii is the only place in the United States that grows coffee, and Greenwell Farms (much like the DoubleShot) is renowned for great coffee.

This isn't a "Kona Blend" or some burnt, stale coffee you might pick up while you're on vacation in Hawaii. This is the real deal. Great single-estate coffee, fresh roasted, and just in time for Christmas.

Brokers don't send out samples of Kona, mostly because it's expensive and there's such a high demand for it that they don't have to try and sell it. But I've bought Kona from this broker the past two years (last year we bought from this same farm), and they've both been great coffees. Reports are that this year's crop is exceptional, so we're pretty excited about the prospects. Traditionally, since Kona is an island coffee, it is very bright, clean, fruity, and delicious. You can definitely expect it to come alive in your mouth, especially if you drink it while it's still really fresh.

"Extra Fancy" is a grading term in Hawaii. It's the top grade, meaning all the defects have been picked out and the bean size is large.

I don't have time to write any more because the truck just pulled up. Gotta go unload the coffee.

If you want Kona this year, you need to let me know ahead of time. We're taking pre-orders. It's selling for $31 per quart, which will hold about 3/4 pound.

I'm out.
