This is a view of the processing facilities of Bay View Farms Coffee. Yes, lots of the processing facilities looked pretty old and run down- but they got the job done. And, we learned quite a bit about coffee, for instance, there are 2 main varieties: arabica and robusta. Kona coffee and Jamaican Blue Mountain are both from the same bean - Arabica - the difference is in their growing conditions. We also learned that "Hawaiian Coffee" means essentially everthing-else-that's-leftover-after-picking-out-the-quality-beans. So, we were sure to stear clear of that!
