And how about a coffee farm tour after lunch at the Korner Pocket? Sure. Top photo shows young Coffea arabica plants, commonly known as Arabica coffee plants, in small pots. These plants are grown for their coffee beans, which are used to make coffee. And, UNFORTUNATELY, they are having to deal with a beetle: The Coffee Berry Borer (CBB), a beetle native to Africa, is a significant pest for Kona coffee farms, including Greenwell Farms. This beetle bores into coffee cherries and damages the beans, affecting both yield and quality.
The beetle's presence has significantly impacted the productivity and profitability of Kona coffee farms, including Greenwell Farms. Greenwell Farms uses stumping (Beaumont-Fukunaga method), a technique where trees are cut back to the stump to create a non-fruiting year, significantly reducing beetle populations

Bottom photo: S795 is a hybrid of S288 and an old Kent variety, known for its rust resistance, high yield, and good cup profile. Arabica beans are generally preferred for their smoother, sweeter flavor and lower caffeine content compared to Robusta beans.
