Cinnamon-honey coffee, anyone? After hand-sorting these Typica coffee cherries at our wet mill, Lorie turned these babies into two lots of honey (pulped-natural) coffee — and sprinkled one with cinnamon on the drying rack!

Why cinnamon? Lorie was curious about how it would taste. 🤷🏻‍♀️ That’s the best part of having our own coffee farm: We get to experiment all the time.

When you dig around in the beach bag and confirm that yes, you forgot the coffee. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Cool and overcast made for comfortable conditions in which to rake sun-drying coffees — until it started raining, that is. Here’s a peek at one of the wooden racks in our drying room, where this batch of beans is almost ready for storage.

Oh, thank goodness this round of coffee harvesting is finished! Hot, humid weather + ample rain at the farm = faster ripening. We noticed it at the hand-sorting table, which had more overripe cherries in the latest pick. Here's a peek at some of the ripe coffee cherries we pulled out.

いい感じです。

Have you ever seen a bilao? When relatives or friends travel to the Philippines, we often ask for these rice-winnowing baskets.
We stock up on them because they're so useful. Any time we need to hand-sort green beans or roasted coffee, we'll reach for one. They're also great for tossing -- to remove parchment from small amounts of green beans we've hulled in the blender, or to remove the chaff from sample roasts. (We'll show you the tossing motion in a future post.)

What we’re digging: our Rusty's Hawaiian totebag from Prudynan. Roomy and sturdy, it’s perfect for outdoor coffee gear.
Ours is lined with vintage Hawaiian fabric, but she’s got a fun print in her latest Rusty’s Hawaiian tote: dinosaurs and volcanos from June Fabrics Hawaii, a local institution recently featured in Hana Hou! The Magazine of Hawaiian Airlines. Check it out here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/623534402/rustys-hawaiian-coffee-sack-tote-beach?ref=shop_home_active_1

P.S.: We think this is the extra-large size. If you buy one from Prudy, please double-check with her to make sure you're getting the size you like!

"Still liliko yet?" is something you'll hear Ka'u coffee farmers say shortly after the start of harvest season. It's a shorthand way of asking, "Is the amount of ripe coffee cherries on your trees still small? How soon will your bigger harvests kick in?"
At this time of year, our little Denlab pulper (pictured here with Ralph) can handle the day's pick. Soon enough, the harvests will grow, and we'll need to break out the larger Penagos one.

Behind The Scenes: One of the best things about the start of harvest season is experimenting before new crop really starts rolling in -- such as this small batch of dry-fermented coffee.

With this processing method, we use as little water as possible to move coffee cherries through the pulper (the machine that strips the fruit's skins from the seeds). Saving water is good, but there’s a problem: It's hard to control the temperature and speed of fermentation. For example, the pile of fermenting seeds is a lot hotter in the center than on the surface. This results in uneven flavors.

So why mess with this method? When we’ve cupped past experiments, some batches have tempted us with more mouthfeel and sweetness. We’re thinking of ways to maximize those characteristics and minimize inconsistencies. If we get it right, you’ll get to taste it!
