Description
The super-smooth flavor of this tiny round bean is considered by connoisseurs to be coffee's best of the best. The peaberry is discovered in less than 5% of the total harvest. Because this coffee is very rare, there is a limited supply that quickly runs out.
Features
What Is Peaberry?
Most coffee cherries contain two beans of approximately equal size. The two beans grow squished together in the same cherry so they look like two halves. Occasionally one of the two beans is never fertilized or is damaged early in development so the other bean grows by itself without being squished into a half bean shape. This single, small, pea-shaped bean is called peaberry and only occurs in about 3-5% of the total crop.
Since peaberry beans are round there are no edges to get over cooked or burned in the roasting process. Roasting a batch of nothing but peaberry makes is possible to get every part of every bean roasted to the exact same level. This has given peaberry a reputation for being smoother in flavor than most other coffee. Roasting has a big effect on cupping quality so anything that affects the roasting process can easily affect the final quality of the coffee. It's too bad peaberry is such a tiny percentage of the total crop.
Estate Grown 100% Kona Coffee
"Estate grown" means our coffee is nurtured by us from beginning to end to ensure the best possible quality. "100%" means our coffee is always pure Kona coffee, it is never mixed with lower grade coffees such as Kona Blend. Growing and producing high quality Kona coffee is our top priority.
Ground vs Whole Bean
At this time all our coffee is sold as whole beans. Whole beans retain their freshness much longer than ground coffee and is ideal for anyone with a grinder. Let us know if you would prefer pre-ground coffee.

Reviews & Comments
My first reunion with Kona in a long time and a wonderful revisit it was! Peaberries capture more of a rich, full flavor of what is already a spectacular of coffee flavor. A definite hit, especially prepared via the French press.
I ground them up and made shots of espresso with these beans and they blend very well with steamed milk.
good to the last drop
This is absolutely without a doubt the most incredible coffee I've ever tasted!!!! I had always loved the smell of coffee but hated the aftertaste.....not any more. There is absolutely no bitterness, acidity, or dry aftertaste with this incredible coffee.
One caveat....if you're going to invest in this special coffee, do get yourself a really good grinder that will grind extremely fine coffee so you can get the maximum flavor. It's really worth it!rTjTt
The peaberry has an excellent flavor that is rich without being overwhelming and has a pleasant aftertaste which quickly disappears.
It’s clear that Kona Earth takes great care in roasting and packaging their coffees to preserve these values resulting in an exceptional cup of java.
As a fan of light to medium roasts, I love this coffee. Its not too acidic and is quite smooth. While there seems to be an over saturation of "Kona Coffee" (even though most are just blends with only 10% or so), there is nothing like 100% kona. One of my favorite memories from a recent trip to Hawaii is the coffee. I highly recommend it.
I have had the pleasure of having a few different Kona's and this one is by far one of the top!
I highly suggest you try it!
