We Have something for every coffee lover

Gourmet coffee is more expensive than the standard supermarket brands, but there is simply no comparison in the quality of the coffee. You don't need to be wealthy to enjoy gourmet coffee. You can enjoy it when ever you want, or it would be a nice thing to keep for weekends or when ever you had special company over for a visit.

To make your own gourmet coffee, start with the coffee beans. Gourmet Coffee beans can be purchased in several forms, by the pound or by the kilo and so on and there are several varieties from which to choose. Some of the most admired gourmet coffee beans include Kona, Jamaican Blue Mountain, and Sumatra types.

Coffee beans are similar to wine in that they name the coffee beans after the region of origin. In the world of wine you have the well-liked Sonoma wines which come from Sonoma Valley in California. In the world of coffee the equivalent would be Kona coffee beans which come from Kona, Hawaii.

The Tree to the Cup

Coffee travels a long way before reaching your coffee mug. Here are some interesting coffee facts:

It takes three-to-four years for a coffee seed to grow into a tree that produces coffee beans.

Seeds are first planted in nurseries. Six months to one-year later, seedlings are transplanted to open fields. Workers must prepare the planting ground for the small seedlings by loosening and grading the soil.

Approximately two-and-a-half years after transplantation, the trees begin to flower and the flowers produce a small fruit known as a coffee cherry. In the center of each cherry are two green coffee beans.

Coffee plants grow best where there is plenty of rainfall at certain times of the year and thrive in a well-drained, rich, volcanic soil. The plant does not like sudden changes in temperature, and frost can severely damage or kill it.

During harvest, coffee cherries are hand picked. It takes approximately 2,000 cherries—4,000 beans—to produce one pound of roasted coffee.

After being husked, sorted and bagged, the green coffee beans are shipped all around the world.

Manufacturing involves the roasting and grinding of the coffee beans. Once manufacturing and packaging are completed, the coffee is ready for the consumer.

Kona Coffee is one of the most prized coffees in the world. The United States imports and consumes more coffee than any other country.
