You're probably scratching your head and asking yourself "What the heck is Postum?" It would be more appropriate to ask yourself "What the heck WAS Postum?"
I originally wrote this article in February of 2007 and placed it on my main site. Little did I know at the time that Kraft Foods would be discontinuing the production of Postum in the fall of 2007. Although the article drew quite a few visitors then, and received a few comments, I believe it's better suited to be archived on this site instead of my main site because this site is about coffee and that one is not. Simple enough right? Anyway, this is the first of two articles I'll be moving over here. Enough with the explanation and on with the story — bear in mind that it was written in February of 2007:

Before I say anything else, I'm not being paid to advertise for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and I may be asked to remove the copy of their logo. I'm basically responding to the search term I saw pop up in my search stats. Like others, I'm sure, I had no idea what "Green Mountain Coffee" was until I started searching for myself. I initially thought it was another type of coffee and I had no idea it represented a company.

If Kona coffee isn't considered a gourmet coffee, it should be. An arabica variety of coffee, it has a rich, full taste sought after by coffee connoisseurs like myself. I once spotted a bag of Kona coffee at the Royal Subic store, Subic Bay Freeport Zone (adjacent to Olongapo City, Philippines) and I wanted to buy it, but it was just too expensive for my budget at the time. I haven't seen any there since.

Until very recently, I didn't know about the many kinds of coffee. I knew about the two species commonly used, but I just found out there are many more. How did I find out? I was cruising around Wikipedia and found their article on coffee, that's how. Of course, reading any Wikipedia article has a tendency to make the brain go numb due to all the references, citations, and technical details you have to wade through.
