Kona Coffee

A friend of ours gave me a new expired bag of Kona coffee from the Gold Coffee Company.

I will not say that I did not like it but it certainly was not as good as some have made it out to be. Of course the problem could have been that it was stale, or it could have been that is just the nature of mass produced coffee, or it could even be that their website said that they were proud of their Full City Roast and so I suspect that that dark of a roast did not let the intrinsic flavors come through. Whatever the deal was I think I will have to roast my own beans to get a true assessment of Kona.
