What is green coffee?
GREEN Coffee is coffee that has been picked, wet processed & sun-dried & milled & its very next step is for YOU the roaster, to roast.
It is unroasted coffee.
Roasting smells delicious too
“I need your kona greenbean again. This time faster for my coffee friends become more and more and my kona coffee usage is very large” HL from Taiwan
We sell our 100% Kona green in amounts from 1 pound on up.
The maximum we can sell by Law in one order, is 10 pounds of green beans.
Roasted Coffee
We of course offer roasted coffee and …you can ask for ground coffee, too. Your whole freshly roasted beans will be ground in our Bunn 3 burr grinder. $1 per pound. (Just check it off on your order form.) The Bunn is an exceptional grinder giving uniformity to the grinds and you may just want to throw away your whirly blade and have us do your grinding!
Total Satisfaction is our AIM!
We think we only have the best and that’s what we want YOU to have.
we built a special climate controlled storage room for our precious coffee and it is under our living room. these fat parchment bags’ next trip is to be milled into green coffee.

*“ESTATE GRADE ” is our own SMITHFARMS definition for our “Extra Fancy”, “Fancy” and “Number one” grade beans as they naturally occur in our Smithfarms coffee crop. We take out the Peaberry and remove the grades below “Number one”.
Without bragging, we at Smithfarms invented the word Estate Grade Coffee. Lots of people use it now. This was suggested to us by a roaster friend years ago (thank you Barry J.), because the size difference between the largest and the smallest in our Estate Grade Run is all of 3/64ths of an inch. He felt it would give it a slight multidimensional pure awesome Kona Coffee flavor and we’ve never looked back. He was right. YUM!
We are a high elevation, (1700 – 2000 feet above sea level on the slopes of Mauna Loa) slower growing coffee farm. With the natural shade given by our clouds, we tend to have a larger amount of bigger beans. Tastier too, say the experts.
But all our precious & gourmet 100% Kona coffee grows at its perfect pace, with sunny mornings and afternoon cloud cover during the wet summer growing months and our dry cool winter harvest season.

How are we hoping to knock back the Coffee Berry Borer?
Dan uses a back pack mister that weighs over 40 pounds and he goes to everyone of our trees. Spraying the top and undersides. Big job but we hope it does the trick.
These are the Seals you will find on your Smithfarms roasted coffee bags, in addition to our label. We pay 5 Cents for each and the money goes to support the Kona Coffee Farmer Organization (KCFA). It is a group dedicated to just the Kona Coffee farmer. That is what we are —-Kona Coffee Farmers!
Farmers are not processors. We grow the stuff, processors do process it but …they also buy large quantities of fresh cherry from the majority of coffee farmers who sell at the cherry level, and then …those processors sell that coffee to blenders! The processors want to buy coffee at the lowest possible price and the farmers want to earn their living. CONFLICT!
Kona Blend: The processor/blenders take their coffee bags put in 90% unknown & never identified (Truth in Labeling?) coffee beans and only 10% Kona Coffee beans and sell that bag for an enormous profit on their 10% Kona. Beware of Kona Blend!
The Kona Coffee Farmers Association is a totally volunteer, non-profit, community-based organization of coffee farmers with the mission to promote and protect the economic interests of Kona coffee farmers who grow and sell 100% Kona coffee and to seek greater legal protection of the Kona coffee name. And I was named President again for 2013 .
