Heads up on last day to Christmas shop

We roast our coffee on an as need basis so you can receive your coffee freshly packaged right after roasting. To serve our all our customers we need to have all our orders by DECEMBER 12, 2009 in order to get them roasted, packaged and shipped to your door in time for Christmas. Please keep this date in mind. Eventhough the coffee bags we use are mylar with a oneway valve and do keep the coffee fresh for 3 months plus, our goal is to get that coffee to you as soon after packaging as possible. Our Holiday orders are coming in now. Count how many on your gift list you can fill by just one order of freshly roasted Kona Lisa Coffee. Remember to get the order in no later than DECEMBER 12, 2009.

Couldn't have said it better myself

Found this in the NG Drving Guides to America, California And Nevada and Hawaii edition page 154.
"Only one state in the U.S. grows Coffee--Hawaii--and the best comes from the Kona district of the Big Island. In fact, conoisseurs rank this arabica coffee among the world's top brews. A missionary planted the first trees in Kona around 1828. The growing conditions were perfect--rich volcanic soil, an elevation above 1,200 feet, cool breezes, light rains. In springtime, slopes are blanketed with white blossoms, aptly named Kona Snow. Between September and January, field workers harvest cherry red berries. Coffee's valuable part is the seed--the coffee bean. Each year, a tree produces only enough beans to make a single pound of roasted coffee. But brewed up, that coffee is as pure and intoxicating as sunshine."
