My Favorite Regions

How many of us search for the “perfect cup of coffee?” From people I talk to around the world, it seems the answer is all of us.

In over three decades traversing the globe in search of the best beans for Gevalia, I have found, much to my delight, that there are several ways to make the perfect cup of coffee. “Perfect” can come from many sources, and from a single bean or a blend. Here are my top sources for the perfect cup:

- Antigua from Guatemala: single beans, simply perfect in the cup

- Kenyan: a wonderful black currant flavor in every cup

- Kona: the best of region and bean; a beautiful taste from a beautiful region

As you can see, I have a “perfect” cup from just about every coffee region in the world. In my travels, I continue to be amazed by the unique tastes that each region offers. By surveying and perusing each regional crop, I have been fortunate to become close with farmers committed to producing only the best beans. It’s this commitment that delivers the unparalleled tasting experience I have found in each of these regions.

As all of you continue on your quest for your perfect cup of coffee, I will strive to deliver the perfect cup of Kona coffee to you. Even though the competition is still over three months away, I am observing the climate and working with the growers to ensure the best coffee possible in each and every cup that makes its way to you.
