Gourmet coffee lovers often conclude that Jamaican Blue Mountain is the rarest coffee in the world. There is another variety that's much rarer--and produced in the United States--it's "Moka Maui" coffee. In fact, 74 times as much Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is produced, compared to Moka Maui. Armeno Coffee Roasters is offering free shipping on orders of this rare coffee.
Northborough, MA (PRWeb) February 6, 2007 -- For decades, American coffee lovers have been led to believe that Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee was the rarest. It turns out that a much rarer coffee is right within the 50 states--and it isn't Hawaiian Kona coffee.
Armeno Coffee Roasters is the first gourmet coffee roaster to bring this exclusive coffee to the mainland U.S. It's called "Maui Moka".
John Parks, Co-Owner of Armeno, explains: "There's only one pound of Maui Moka produced for every 74 pounds of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, yet gourmet coffee drinkers mistakenly regard Blue Mountain as the rarest coffee."
One of the reasons for the scarcity of Maui Moka is the size of its bean. "It takes about 3,000 standard coffee beans to make a pound. But Maui Moka beans are so small, that it takes more than 8,100 of them to make a pound of coffee", said Parks.
Though both Hawaiian Kona and Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee can be grown by dozens of farms, there is only one coffee plantation in the world that grows Maui Moka.
"It's a small, family-owned farm in the Kaanapali region of Maui", explains Parks. "We've spent years building a relationship with the owner of this plantation. But even with our connections, we're lucky to get a regular supply of Maui Moka."
Armeno Coffee Roasters has created a special web page to describe Maui Moka in more detail. It's at:

For a short trial period, Armeno is offering free shipping on all Maui Moka orders.
