Excellent controversial topic!  I have purchased the Kona Cupping 
Competition winners by green bean each November for the past few years. 
They are uniformly excellent (although none as good as the 2000 / 01 The 
Other Farm -- different clone, I understand).  I roast Kona every other 
week, and some SM varietal or blend every other week. Kona is tops for me, 
rivaled by only a few beans. Costa Rican comes close, but St. Helena does not.
