In Hawaii, farmers earn 30-60% of the price you pay for coffee. Outside of Hawaii, commercial coffee farmers earn as low as 5%.
So what’s behind the price of Hawaiian coffee? Living wages, U.S. infrastructure, and prices that are determined by quality, U.S. law and relationships, instead of traders on the NYSE.
Question: "Hi guys, I have a client here I’m sharing your coffee with, and she started talking about mold and mycotoxin-free beans which are supposedly sold by Bulletproof Coffee / Dave Asprey, etc.
What are your thoughts on mold in relation to coffee? Thank you."
