What are the grades of Type II Kona coffee?
Grades of Type II Kona coffee include Peaberry Number One and Peaberry Prime (these are sometimes referred to as “Peaberry Coffee”) or Peaberry Kona Coffee. A lower grade called Number 3 cannot be classified as Kona coffee. Only one to three percent of all Kona coffee is sorted to the Peaberry grade, and because there is only one seed per cherry it gets more nutrients from the coffee tree, and is considered to have more flavor, and also has a lower acidic content.
