I'm trying to decide if its worth laying in 10-20 pounds for next summer. Last year I froze 10 lbs green, then roasted it in June, froze it again in pre-weighed, vacuum bags to see us through the whole summer (with some Huehuetenango for variety). The Kona, at $15/lb delivered is a pricey indulgence, so I also get green from Sweet Maria's, mostly Central American, and some from George Howell, who is probably the best cupper (taster) in the country. I've been roasting with a Gene Cafe. Here's some links:http://www.smithfarms.com/http://www...ircoffee.com/- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - We have been selling a certified organic Kona from the town of Captain Cook "Captain Cooks Kona" on the big island. Our "Skippers Choice" is a Huehuetenango, our "Boat Roast" is a very good Costa Rican Tres Rio's (peaberry right now), it's our top seller. Then my favorate "RedClouds Finest" is a certified Antiqua. We also carry a Moonson Malabar, a Colombian Ex, and a line of flavored coffees. I'm roasting 30-40 hr a week now every other week, and we were just asked to double our output for the Farmers Market. I've about thrown away the old dripper and gone to strictly French pressing myself. Thanks for the links but I've got access to a storage house as big as two football fields full of the worlds finest and most exotic green. The ladies have a first class cupping facility, and if needed they send all the samples I request. Looks like you've got a nice business going. I always felt a bit responsible for your interest since I posted "The Last Coffee Ship" on ASA in 2001. The last post on the thread is from a certain "TerTrnty." http://groups.google.com/group/alt.s...1c8ada20d4cb5c The links, of course, were for the benefit of interested readers, since I'm sure you know of Sweet Marias and George Howell. |
