Here are a few coffee terms and their meanings:
Estate Coffee: product from one farm, unmixed with beans from other farms, and processed through to roast, unless purchased green, by the estate farm. Generally estate coffee is a blend of Extra Fancy, Fancy and Number 1.
Peaberry: Highest grade available
- This unique coffee bean comes from coffee cherries that produce only one fruit, instead of the usual two fruits per cherry. According to Wikipedia, approximately 5% of any given coffee tree’s fruits will be peaberry.
Extra Fancy: Largest beans and the fewest permittable defects
- Size: 19/64 inch, or “Size 19” for Hawaiian coffees which are flat-sided, or not a peaberry.
- Defects: 8 full defects per 300 grams of coffee, 40 partial defects, or 80 defects with two “pinholes” or less (a pinhole is evidence of bug damage).
- Extra Fancy coffee commands the highest dollar value of the flat-sided (non-peaberry) beans.
Fancy Coffee
- Size: Slightly smaller than Extra Fancy: 18/64 inch, or Size 18.
- Defects: Permits 12 full defects, 60 partial defects, or 120 partial with <2 pinholes.
Number 1
- Size: 16/64 inch, or Size 16
- Defects: 18 full defects, 90 partial, 180 with <2 pinholes.

Specific grades and noncertified kona(coffee from other hawaiian regions) available upon request. I generally deal with estate farms but can go to any roasting house and purchase specific grades if needed. With notice I can supply up to 2,000lbs and maybe more. I can meet or beat almost any supplier's pricing in Kona Hawaii assuming I can verify the pricing, grade, etc offered. Be aware that the cheap prices listed by suppliers is almost always old coffee or lower grades than I mentioned here. The coffee I sell was recently harvested and is only the grades mentioned.
At the moment I can only accept cryptocurrencies including btc, ltc and eth and escrow is welcomed. In a week or so I will be able to accept credit cards, paypal and other payment methods.
