The chainsaw broke after the first row of mac nut trees (there are a couple hundred left to go) so in the meantime we started planting 'keikis' or baby coffee trees. Hopefully they will be ready to go into the ground once the land is cleared in a few months. I'm sure Eric prefers the shrill of the chainsaw but I will take a morning in the garden putting keikis into cute little planters any day.
The 'in between' includes spraying fungus to stop the ever-spreading CBB, attending a coffee expo, shoveling a couple thousand pounds of coffee off the drying deck, roasting and packaging coffee, and making repairs and improvements around the farm.
The highlight this week was definitely creating a new roast profile. Eric put his roasting skills to the test and came up with an awesome profile and roasted several small batches that will be sold by Kona Earth. We will have more info to come but we brewed some this morning and it is delicious!
