TW,

I have heard you mention a coffee brand Kona or something like that. Do they sell this coffee in Nashville and where? I believe you said it was better than Starbucks coffee. Looking to buy some for a last minute Christmas present.

Thanks

Seems like I recently saw this brand in Big Lots or Burlington Coat...Can't remember which it was.

Kona is not a "brand," it is a type of coffee the same as "Colombian." Both are Arabica coffees (Coffea Arabica)as opposed to Africian Coffee - Robusta Coffee (Coffea Canephora). The differences between Kona and Colombian coffees are subtle. The Kona is smoother and mellower than Colombian IMHO. You can find it at Publix Supermarkets most of the time, sometimes Krogers will have some, and occassionally Wal-Mart has a "Kona Blend," a warning is in order here, the blend is only 10% Kona, and they never identify the other 90%. I have also found it at Staples, so I imagine that other good office supply stores might have some. You just have to search and read labels, but the results are worth the effort.

TW, there are a few companies that use the name "Kona" as part of their brand name....Kona Cloud Coffee is one. This may be the one I've seen in a store some where.

Thanks...
