Hawaiian coffee sale expires July 15th (union from tree to cup)
IF you order 5 pounds the price is the same as several coffees in the store like Millstone except Kona. Kona is considered to be the world's best coffee. Add one small item to get free shipping. It also doesn't add to the trade imbalance. Coffee is the #2 import only behind oil. Use the USA code hen checking out.

About Our Coffee
At 22 degrees North Latitude, Kauai has the ideal geographic location for growing coffee. Relatively cool evenings,light winds, and low cloud cover allow for the slow ripening of cherries. Kauai's soils are weathered,deep and slightly acidic-the perfect environment for coffee cultivation.
All processing by-products are reused. After filtering,factory water is applied back to the fields for irrigation. The cherry pulp mulch from pruning are returned to the fields as soil amendments, restoring nutrients and reducing weeds.
Water resources are reused. A efficient drip irrigation system applies water and fertilizers directly to the trees roots NO pesticides are used. Cultivation practices also have reduced the need for herbicides by 75%. 100% renewable energy. All power need are met by hydroelectricity.
The employees are all members of the ILWU and are among the highest paid coffee workers in the world.Employees receive a full range of benefits, including, dental, and retirement, for themselves and their families.

1. Damn...expensive.
Would love to but, I can get great coffee at half the price.
Maybe one bag for support but not as everyday use.
