Kona Blend, Single Serve Cup, PK96

We crossed low over the bay in a tiny yellow seaplane, then trudged through the green jungle over red clay that made liars of our maps. Finally, we stumbled into a secret valley, black with volcanic soil. This was the home of legendary Kona coffee, a bean with a disposition you'd expect from a resident of paradise – sweet, bright, and as welcoming as a rainbow.
