Is Kona that Hawaiian coffee? Every time I have tried that I have hated it. Too bitter.

I have tried the Jamaican and it is okay.

Really. The few times I have had a TRUE Kona, not the "blend" found at gas stations, I found it mild and smooth. Unless you paid a SERIOUS premium for the Jamaican ($40 a pound and up) you received a blend with a smidgen of Jamaican. Jamaican has a strong flavor.

I should mention that Kona is what I recommend to folks who fear third world pesticides sprayed on their coffee. You are right, it is Hawaiian.

Pure Kona coffee is good when brewed properly, adjust scoops, use chilled water, serve FRESH. Another Hawaiian coffee, grown just south of the Kona region called Ka’u coffee is as rich & full flavored as Kona with less ‘complaints’ of bitterness.

Luck to US all.
