Enjoy Kona Decaf Coffee

by Carissa on February 3, 2012

Are you a decaf coffee drinker looking for something a little different?

Our Kona Decaf Coffee is made from a brilliant blend of world famous Kona coffee beans plus top quality gourmet Central and South American beans.

Affordable Kona Coffee Beans

Many of our customers love the flavors and aromas of Kona coffee beans but have troubles swallowing the price tag attached to this leading brand of coffee. Because Kona coffee farms are limited in how many beans they can produce in a year (their coffee beans are hand picked!) there is always a price premium paid for the small supply available to the world market.

By taking these Kona beans and blending them with complimentary coffee beans that are more affordable That’s Coffee makes Kona available to everyone, even if you choose decaf and are trying to stay within your budget.

Decaf Kona Blend Coffee Beans

Some people may be skeptical of blending coffees, believing that gourmet coffees are only “origin” or 100% pure coffee beans from one particular region. While this is true, it is also true that blending some of these origin coffees together brings out the best attributes of each one, often minimizing the less desirable attributes of each coffee variety.

That is the case with our blended Kona coffee beans – by merging 100% Arabica beans from Central and South America we create a cup of coffee that is unbelievably smooth and features a robust flavor, nutty aftertaste, subtle bit and an intense aroma.

If you love gourmet Kona coffee and are looking for a decaf coffee that is just as satisfying as its non-decaf counterpart then we invite you to try our Decaf Kona Blend!

by Carissa on February 1, 2012

Has it ever occurred to you that you can pair coffee with food just like you would pair a particular white or red wine with an appetizer, meal or dessert?

Yesterday I had a customer ask me to recommend a good breakfast coffee to go along with typical breakfast foods. Today I came across an article published on Newport Independent discussing several considerations for pairing coffee and food.

Hopefully these pairing tips will be helpful for you the next time you have guests in your home or would like to treat yourself to an extra special coffee break.

Latin American Coffees

Try pairing our Panama or Mexico coffees, which are well balanced, with:

  • muffin appleBreakfast breads and muffins
  • Citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruits
  • Blueberries and Apples
  • Nuts

African and Arabian Coffees

  • citrusBerries and Citrus fruits
  • Raisins and Currents
  • Chocolate, Cinnamon and Cardamom

Indonesian, Asian and Kona coffee beans are often very earthy in flavor with flowery or herbal notes. It is best to pair these coffees with:
