Rick is his name and I will try to find a number for him for you.
I typically do not like the Kona coffee beans in the french roast. The Kona beans do not typically hold up well to french roast or "over roast". They are too bitter IMHO.
I drank Tom Sharkey's coffee for years and it is pretty good in the medium roasts.

I was watching Good Eats (Alton Brown) recently. He was making Cafe Presse, and added a pinch of salt to the ground beans 'to reduce the bitterness'. Check it out?

OH! I love watching Alton!
Rick Turpen's coffee (coffee from the same plant as the Jamaican Blue Mountain peaberry beans)
turpen@hawaiiantel.net $20 1/2 lb.
He doesn't have a website and it is best to email him as he has a hearing disability.

Hello from Geneva Switzerland
I found this article which may be of some interest:

BTW, does anyone know if you can farm on a lot in HPP?
TIA

If I had my way, you would HAVE to farm on a lot in HPP. But you can, yes. It is zoned agricultural.

Bearing in mind that most HPP lots are solid rock so you will have to create soil where you want to plant.

A century ago, there was a lot of coffee grown in upper Puna. I found some old trees in the forest that were still hanging on, and even found a few trees small enough to transplant. I'm now planting seedlings from those trees as an understory in the Ohia forest (after hand clearing the waiawi); so far, so good. This is at 1900' in Glenwood, and in dirt, not rock.
One of the trees I found has yellow berries.
