One of the best parts of working in a coffee company is trying all of the coffees. As we are looking to expand our line up to three-fold by the end of summer, we are sampling all sorts of different coffees. One that stuck out was this week was the Kona Extra Fancy from the Heavenly Hawaiian Farm. Now, I am typically not interested in Kona Coffees, simply because of the excessive price tag and the relatively predictable cup. However, this coffee was very smooth and had an astonishingly easy going finish. As I drank a french press in my office around 830PM, trying to finish the days workload, I rediscovered all of the luster around the Kona Coffee. Much like a Corona, this coffee has the ability to transcend you from the norm, and take you to a greatly desired place. Although I would have rather been out mountain biking, playing 18 holes, or out with a good looking lady friend, I wasn’t. With temptations similar to the aforementioned at loom, I was suddenly taken to a decadent place of complete tranquility. I was drinking a cup of Kona in the office at 830PM, while surprisingly and unexpectedly, perfectly content. For me, this was the textbook definition of an “affordable luxury” and it is times like these that remind me not only why I love coffee, but more importantly why I love what I do…
Hang Loose.
