Recent scarcity of 100% Kona coffee

Yesterday I received an email from a larger Kona coffee company here on the island asking to buy some of our green coffee, especially peaberry or extra fancy. We have green coffee available but we are saving it for our many fine customers. As you know the coffee you receive from Kona Lisa has peaberry in it along with every bean we have picked on our farm last season. Some farms will shake out the peaberry and extra fancy and sell it.

Our goal to to service our customers with the best Estate grown coffee possible. Our supply of beans has been short this season but we tried to prepare for this. We only sold to our current customers this season not trying to add new as we knew something had to give. We are also roasting in smaller batches and only when orders are received. Plus we are making sure we save coffee for our coffee club members. This all takes a bit more care and time but is truly worth it because we value our business and especially our customers.

So far this production year looks to be a plentiful season. We will be busy harvesting in the fall and preparing those rich ripe cherries to be the special coffee we always serve because we want to remain the small boutique coffee plantation you've always expected. Thanks, or more appropriately mahalo, to everyone for helping make Kona Lisa Coffee what she is.
