100% Kona Coffee and Tasty Treats from the Big Island of Hawaii
Composting to the Max
Organic applications is the way to go. Over the past twenty (20) plus years, we have been composting with different composting material to upgrade the soil quality. Macadamia husks, macadamia shells, logs,
organic soil, wood chips, and ground-up green waste from the local county program have all been applied to the Country Samurai field. All this application of organic material besides having being located in a natural soil belt of Holualoa provides for an ideal environment for coffee growing.
Organic material in the soil creates for stable moisture level in the soil. Additionally, our geographical location at about 1500-1700 feet elevation provides for a cool near perfect rainfall precipitation level of about 50 inches a year.
In the year 2008 alone, we applied 2000 cubic yards of green waste.
That converts to 10 cubic yards of mulch for every three (3) big Country Samurai estate trees.
The trees are happy campers with the environment we have nurtured, developed and embraced. Happy and healthy trees can only produce the deliciously mild Kona coffee. Pele's volcanic rocky slopes only enhances
the mineral content in the ground.
Even the “non-gourmet” coffee drinkers acknowledge the difference in flavor of our coffee.
