Happy Holidays 2024 A generous gift of freshly roasted 100% Kona coffee from Hawaii, is the perfect gift for absolutely anyone on your list. Among coffee drinkers, 100% Kona coffee is known for its superior flavor. We have been growing 100% Kona coffee coffee on our 5 acre farm for more than (!) 36 years. As I say elsewhere on my site, Bob still is the only Kona coffee farmer I know who has his
Do you encourage visitors?
No and for a couple of reasons. We do not have a store front- this is our house. It is just Bob and me, so we are not set-up for visitors. We live 2 miles up a semi-paved, one lane private, 4 Wheel drive road. But don't be discouraged, there are many farms that want visitors. Go here http://www.konacoffeefarmers.org/farmTours.asp and you'll find over 40 farms that would love to have you. (I am

Are You Organic?
Here's an article and we share the feelings. read here> http://tinyurl.com/h6699s2 No. There is no organic source of fertiliser in Hawaii. All fertiliser organic or otherwise, needs to be shipped in. This of course increases prices dramatically and we could not afford to apply the adequate amounts of organic nutrition to our coffee trees that they need to remain vigorous, without pricing our coffee to the extreme and frankly, we could not make a
Are You Fair Trade?
The 100% Kona green coffee you get from us is certainly Fairly Traded but the FT people do not come to Kona so we do not get that marque. The FT people assume that the US, (and Hawaii is one of the 50 US States) already does things fairly-- as in paying the workers a good wage, which is true.

Where can I buy your coffee- retail?
We do not sell our coffee in any retail spot. When we began 24 years ago, we figured out how we two could do it and survive. Hence this website. It's been working for us too.
Kona– too strong or bitter?
First of all, I would be interested to know what "Kona" you bought? Old beans are junk beans.They are bitter because the oils are not stable and tend to decompose. Over roasting can ruin beans. They will taste close to charcoal. A 10% Kona Blend is junk too. You can't taste 10% Kona in a bag where the other 90% are unidentifiedwhoknowswhat beans and probably cheap and bitter to begin with. There are
