That is because Kona (like Jamaica Blue Mountain) should not be a blend ... the stuff's so darn expensive, though, that's why you rarely see it as a stand-alone bean. What varies wildly is the percentage of Kona to non-Kona beans. I suspect that most of them contain the minimum amount to still be considered Kona. Kind of like Hawaiian Punch saying it's made of fruit juice, when the actual juice content is 7-10%.
In other news, I also prefer a dark roasted coffee.
