Ka'u & Kona Coffee

St. Jude's Guatemalan neighbor has a small roasting operation. He showed it to me today. he biuts most oof his beans from growers all over the island then roasts and packages them to order for vendors here and on the mainland. He paclaged up two ro three pounds each of Kona, Ka'u naturalmente (a rought version, with lots of black ones that have to be removed before roasting), and Hawai'ian Blend, which is very clean, prepared for mainland sale. he added a pound of fine Ka'u peaberry and then refused any hint of payment. (At retail prices this would be well over $200 worth!)

I let him do this because arguing is indecent, people know how to treat clergy in his culture, and he is actually doing quite well. His shop is pretty extensive, he sells all over the world, and his house, though modest, looks quite comfortable, and he appears to have a swimming pool for his three boys! He has been here in Ocean View for the past twelve years.
