great news for kona farmers

the mermaid has just announced that it will begin carrying kona coffee once again after a lapse of seven years. they intend to sell it for the amazing price of US$40 the pound!

look for kona prices to rise substantially as a result. kona farmers, rejoice. home roasters, buy a nice big supply of green now. . .

kona acreage is small, and while yield has been increasing, the growing region just isn't that big. with the mermaid now planning to buy up many many bags, that level of demand will inevitably drive prices up.
