Coffee grown on the North Shore of Oahu? I'm there about every 4-5 months, and never seen any coffee plantations. I better step away from the bars a bit more in the future!
You have my attention! I don't know how I'd get through life without good coffee, and I'm always excited to try new coffees. I'm going to check out the kona coffee you talk about here.
Kona is very expensive, and often is a small percentage of Kona mixed with something else cheaper. Look for 100% Kona. If you can find it, i actually like
Kauia coffee better, and it's not quite as expensive. They used to have it at Sam's Club but eventually stopped carrying it, the mail order price is a lot higher. I get whole bean and grind myself, the 5lb bag ends up nearly $13/lb
