Mountain Thunder – Premium Kona August 4, 2009
My second bag of Kona from Mountain Coffee is their 100% Premium Kona beans. This is a step down from the Organic Kona Private Reserve I tried a few weeks ago, but still up around $30/lb. I’ve read that the beans come from multiple farms around Kona, but I don’t know that I believe it. It is strange that they’re an organic farm and these beans are not labeled as organic though…
What I do know is I enjoyed these beans much more than the more expensive Private Reserve beans. There was more of a coffee kick to them. It felt like I was drinking great coffee. Maybe not $30/bag great coffee, but great coffee just the same. I still get a deep chocolate flavor, which is what I remember from all the Kona coffee I’ve had, but the strong coffee taste is the lasting impression.
If you were to buy Kona coffee, this is a good one to try. I still think it’s too expensive for coffee, at least for someone who doesn’t have a professional coffee tongue and can tell the difference. I just picked up another bag of my beloved Counter Culture Huehuetenango at $10/bag and I couldn’t be happier.
