IF these tarriffs persist, #coffee growers in #Hawaii might see a big boost to their business. Many growers in Hawaii sell directly from their own websites, which allows us to bypass resellers like Amazon. My personal Top Three Hawai’i coffees are from the 1) Ka’u, 2) Kona, and 3) Maui regions. There are great growers on Oahu and Kauai too, but my own taste gravitates towards the Big Island and Maui.

The 'ohi'a lehua are flowering at my place. Most 'ohi'a have red flowers, but they do vary. Here's our one yellow 'ohi'a. 🥰

When an 'ohi'a is in full flower, you can sometimes walk under it and hear it buzzing with bees.

Interestingly, when I was up at volcanoes national park last week, most of the 'ohi'a were not flowering. I wonder if that's due to the elevation difference (the park is much higher elevation than my place), or because the eruption and ash are somehow affecting the flowering cycle, or both, or something else entirely 🤔

"We had begun the morning sipping traditional māmaki tea and eating homemade banana bread in the sunshine, as Waipā's guide, Kelsey Ke'alohilani Rogers, shared the legend of kalo (taro in Hawaiian) and how this root vegetable became an iconic part of Hawaiian culture. According to local beliefs, Earth Mother and Sky Father had a stillborn son. From the spot where he was buried, the first kalo plant grew, later nourishingtheir next son, Hāloa, the first human. "This is why kalo is more than food; it's family," Rogers explained." - bbc.com/travel/article/2025033

my parents were boomers who always leaned a little hippy, so naturally we spent a good amount of time visiting Kaua’i when i was a kid, lol. ive hiked, swam, kayaked, open water snorkled, and lodged all over this island. and even when i was little, i was always captivated by this magical place. you have moments there that blur the lines of physical and metaphysical…it’s hard to explain.

this is a photo i took there in 2012…and sadly my last visit was in 2017 🥲 overdue for a visit 🖤🌴
