Hawaiian Coffee: How Do You Educate Customers on Prices?

Forget your preconceptions of coffee farming – Hawaii breaks them all.

In Hawaii, US minimum wage and labour laws apply. In Hawaii, Kona coffee gets diluted by up to 90% with other origins. But how do you operate with such high labour costs? How do you create value for a single origin – when it’s all about Kona?

And how do you sell customers roasted coffee for $14/lb – when they ask for it at $2/lb?

Malian Lahey of Kona Coffee spoke on this at Micro Coffee Festival El Salvador. Listen to her presentation below (and see our Events Calendar for more events like this).
