New Harvest

Today we cupped some of the new harvest. This part of the farm was added to Heavenly Hawaiian a few years ago. This is the first real harvest off of these trees after four years of hard work. The coffee is very, very smooth. We cannot wait to share this 100% Kona coffee with our friends and customers.
Things are still bustling at the farm. The harvest continues in full swing. Trudy has been gone for a week on a much needed vacation. Hopefully, she will bring some rain with her.
The 39th Annual Kona Coffee Cultural Festival is coming up Nov 6-15. This is always a great time for the coffee industry. We are competing in the Crown Cupping Contest this year. With how great this tasted, things look promising.

Heavy Harvest

Wow. Things are going crazy here. The harvest is looking to be one of the biggest ever. Its a good thing we built another hoshidana. The floors are covered! The trees do look beautiful covered with the ripe cherry. Nothing beats a field full of coffee trees. Looking out at the orchards, its easy to see why Kona coffee is considered the best in the world.
