pail Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 My only question is... What the heck is a Kona? The design on the can has like, palm fronds and Tiki statue faces. So, like, is it Hawaiian or Polynesian or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I don't like about monster is how they lowered their caffeine content. Like most regular ones only have 120mg instead of 160. The teas might be a little higher or lower... I forget. But that's why I like the Java ones so much 188mg of caffeine per can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Hound Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I run off of about 250mg of caffeine every other day I think. Sometimes 500 in a day on a weekend though. But yea I avoid sugar like the plague. I love those teas they have. The peach is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the other ones are kinda garbage. And Red Bull is way too damn expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnmjy Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Real kona coffee is expensive as shit. It's grown on Hawaiian volcanic soil. That Monster drink probably has no kona in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes Kona so special, anyway? Despite the fact that it's grown in volcanic topsoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee falls into two categories: single origin or blend. Blend means it comes from two different places. Single origin Kona is very expensive. Since it is a blend, Monster can get away with it only being one part per hundred Kona. I doubt it's that high, but I also doubt it's a fifty-fifty blend. I personally never had Kona, but the only reason it is special is that it's grown on Hawaiian volcanic soil. I know all this because I'm a Starbucks barista.
