Perry Estate Kona (??) Costco

Hi,

I was taking a short cut that passed by the coffey racks at my local
Costco only to find:

Hawaiian Gold
100% Hawaiian Kona Coffe
Private Estate Reserve
Rare Limited Edition

The back of the box lists "Parry Estate Kona Gold Coffee Plantation, Top
of Donkey Mill Road, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 96745.

It lists "Gold Coffee Company Corporate Offices, 1425 Port Lane South
Jupiter, Florida 33458.

I comes in a fancy box with a gold-foil bag. Costco sells these 1.5
pound bags for about $25. I have no idea how good it is, yet.

I filled my super-automatic with home roasted, Smithfarms Kona, before
going out today. But I'll take it to work tomorrow and give a taste.

For me, this is a new product and quite a relief from seeing the usual,
crummy Kona blends seen in the past. If it turns out to be a quality
product, I'll be sending Costco a nice thank you letter.

No, I'll still be a Smithfarms, green kona customer. The shelf-life and
freshness is something beyond even their pre-roasted. After all, I
prefer a darker roast over lighter roasted beans. But still, it is nice
to have another source.

Anyone else try this already?
