How much does kona coffee cost

So why are we cheaper than most other Kona coffees yet have such a superior product? As a matter of fact, our life would be a tad easier if we would just take our parchment or even cherries and would sell it to the processors. But then farm life suddenly becomes boring and the pride we feel in our coffee doesn't mean a thing anymore. Plus the haggling and bartering for the best price with the few processors reminds one of the medieval dependency farmers always had.

We are striving to get you as a longterm, happy customer , be able for you to talk to us directly and have a bit fun while doing it. There seems to be a lot of importance placed on coffee farms winning awards these days. Folks ask us sometimes what we have won so far.

Well, we don't participate in award, or coffee cupping shows. Cowardice is certainly not the reason. Taste is highly subjective and has to be developed individually. Award shows however, attract a notoriously insecure customer base. They are gone with the next 'winner' of the next show.

Our customers word to friends and colleagues is simply much better advertising. Participation, with the high chance of winning a Kona Coffee Award would also be unfair to our faithful regular fans, as limited production of a farm coupled with the high demand after winning, always raises prices steeply. And hence would irritate our steady supporters, who had discovered us on their own.

Larry Fischer. I can appreciate your predicament regarding the price of your coffee. Mahalo for the information. I appreciate the quality of your product. Thank you so much for the article and upfront frankness. Our previous employment placed us in various countries throughout the world and as Coffee Club members your coffee has accompanied us. Everyone who has ever come to our home and tasted your coffee raves about it.

It is simply the best. We are definitely coffee snobs and think your product is the only coffee worth drinking! Dear Mr. Carter, I applaud your explanation.

My wife and I have enjoyed Greenwell Farms coffee since we first visited the plantation on our honeymoon in Over the years we have visited Hawaii and always stopped at the farm when we are in town and we have passed along our love of good coffee to our grown children.

We wish Greenwell Farms much future success. What an awesome article! Kona is still the best coffee in the world and Greenwell is the best Kona coffee.

We have enjoyed the many visits and tours and appreciate the top notch customer service you provide. Need to raise prices to keep the quality? Go for it! We will continue to be a Greenwell customer!

BTW: you got nothing on gas prices. Outstanding article. Informative and candid. True facts are helpful to articulate. I have been to your farm, seen and heard your process. Thank you-. We come to the Big Island every winter, well not this year but hopefully Feb of 22?

Ever since finding Greenwell we buy it as our premium brand. Our favorite, Private Reserve will remain exactly that, our favorite. We drink coffee usually every day but Sundays are usually PR day. We have learned that picking a great coffee is much like picking a great wine. Be aware of the subtle tastes and the differences in the coffee. We did buy six pounds of PR just recently to hold us over for a while.

We appreciate your product and the love that it takes to produce a great coffee. Regards from Canada. Would we receive any type of discount for a larger quantity?

Unfortunately, we have done away with the 5 lb discount. Hopefully, you can order it in smaller quantities over a shorter interval to maintain absolute freshness. Thank you for this explanation! When the news of the price increase came, my first reaction was to go back to some very good locally roasted coffee.

I thank you all for the kind words and the support. We truly appreciate each and every one of you! I appreciate that your company took the time to explain your decision and the need. As a local resident and part of the middle class that enjoys your product and the hard work of your family, it does sadden me that I will be one of those folks who can no lo get afford and enjoy your product. I understand as a former COO now retired of the difficulty of running a company, but as a company and a leader it is also your responsibility to try to create innovation inside your business that maybe outside the norm to stay competitive in the market.

There is something sad about living where it is grown and have now been excluded from it. I wish you and your family all the success. My late wife, Sheryl who passed away during the pandemic in August of , and I toured the Greenwell Farm facility in September for our 25th wedding anniversary.

We were immediately impressed with the coffee and the process of production. My wife and I discovered Greenwell — almost by accident — in and immediately joined a tour.

Australia has strict quaratine laws which limit private import of green coffee beans, so with considerable trepidation we added some bags of whole bean to our luggage and were waved through after declaring phew! Since then we determined that we could import our own and have done so ever since. The price rise is high, but we pay an huge freight charge in any case — which is also now higher.

However, as Jeff Adler says its the cost per cup that is important. So we will continue to buy several months supply with an eye on the minimum freight cost per cup and absolute joy from every cup. Prior to the pandemic, we toured your farm. This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and once restrictions fade into the rear view mirror, we will travel to your farm yet again.

Your post explaining the many factors considered for coffee pricing was not only candid, but truthful. And by welcoming you into an equitable and economically sustainable supply chain, together we can create a healthier future. Green Hawaiian Coffees unroasted. Get Microlot Stock Alerts.
