TIME’s UP!!!!
Mornings are rough around here. The whole Post-It Place clan is grumpy…I mean really grumpy in the morning. And we all have to have a good cuppa joe to get us going. Mr. Technosavy, he is the biggest connoisseur of coffee here, he is very particular about his coffee. Me, I am not as bad as he is, but I cannot drink coffee that has a bitter taste to it, it just repulses me. The Princess, she likes hers bold. Smarypants, he doesn’t care, as long as he can sneak a taste. In comes Dr. Paulo. Dr. Paulo Farms located in Hawaii grows and distributes Kona Coffee and Macadamia Nuts. Their coffee is bold and smooth with no bitter taste at all. We all LOVE Dr. Paulo Kona Coffee. Dr. Paulo’s Farms is the largest privately owned grower of 100% Kona Coffee and macadamia nuts located in the South Kona District on the Big Island of Hawaii. Dr. Paulo’s has eleven different farms located in a very unique microclimate which allows for harvesting coffee and macadamia nuts year around. This provides their customers with a consistent farm direct supply of the highest quality of fresh Kona coffee and macadamia nuts from a single origin year around.
It is fresh and it is delicious!
And…the macadamia nuts…they are to die for. Especially the chocolate and white chocolate covered ones. Yummm. And the chocolate covered coffee beans…both delicious and great for a quick pick-me-up.
Why eat macadamia nuts? They are the world’s finest nuts characterized by their crisp texture, delicate flavor, versatility of use and long shelf life. Also, they are good for you. The macadamia nut contains the highest level of monounsaturated fatty acids in any natural commercial food. Medical research has shown that the consumption of macadamia nuts may significantly lower the risk of heart disease. They can be eaten as a delicious healthy snack and used in almost any recipe that calls for nuts including stir fry, fruit salads, breads and cakes.
Why eat Dr. Paulo’s macadamia nuts? Dr. Paulo’s macadamia nuts are dehydrated and farm direct from a single origin. Dr. Paulo’s is one of three growers in the world that owns the patented nut cracker that gives us the ability to dehydrate the nuts out of the shell rather than drying the nuts in the shell. Dehydration only minimally affects the nutritional value of the macadamia nut as it is the least damaging form of food preservation. Also, Dehydration uses 60% less power than conventional drying which decreases the impact on the environment.
Dr. Paulo Farms does everything possible to decrease their impact on the environment and continue to produce high quality products. They have done a phenomenal job.
The Post-It Place Clan…we are a divided bunch. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Ohana Hale Reserve and Mr. Technosavy likes the Estate Blend the best. Really, we like them all, but we do each have our favorites. Of course, I can eat the chocolate cover macadamia nuts or the chocolate covered beans anytime. Now, if I could just get a visit in somehow, life would be really good. I bet it is warm there. I bet they are all lounging around the farm eating chocolate covered beans, sipping on a cuppa joe, talkin about the days events. Me, I am watching it sleet, trying to stay warm, wishing I could con persuade Dr. Paulo into sending for me…in exchange I would be a coffee and nut taster…now that would be the life.
AND, they are offering one of you lucky readers the opportunity to try…a sampler pack. Ohhh, if you win…call me and we will sit and drink coffee and eat macadamia nuts together…and pretend we are on the farm in Hawaii soaking up the sun and passing the time away.
They care about replenishing the soil once their crop has grown and been harvested, its good to rotate crops
Their ecological wet mill processing significantly reduces pollution due to pulp and waste water runoff, and greatly reduces water usage. Compared with the typical hydro-pulped and fermented coffees, there is no detrimental effect on the the coffee cupping quality with the added benefits from process improvement using technology.
I really love nuts and I drink like 3 pots of coffee a day!!!

It’s amazing how an entire family lives and works the land instead of employing an outside agency, and then they handpick everything. Sounds good to me!
I love a high quality cup of coffee, and macadamia nuts are one of my favorites! They seem to put a lot of care and effort into their crops, so I know their product will be the best.
I think the fact that they don’t use equipment to “pick” the beans that it really cuts out some of the polutions! I would really like to try thier products because they really seem high quality.

This is one way that they are making a difference – The resulting parchment/green bean coffee is placed in climate-controlled storage. This ecological wet mill processing significantly reduces pollution due to pulp and waste water runoff, and greatly reduces water usage. I would like to try their products since I have never been to Hawaii and this would make me feel like I was there.
They replenish the soil their coffee grows in.
I’d like to try them because they’re high quality.
I totally understand how you feel in the mornings! Things just don’t feel right before coffee!!
Yum, how I would love to try these coffee and nuts – they sound delicious, and I love that they are concerned about the environment, because it’s important to me, too. I love that they are reducing pollution due to pulp and waste water runoff by the way they run their wet mills.
Thanks for the great giveaway!!
They seem to be very concerned (rightly so) about keeping the soil fertile. These products sound heavenly…I’m drooling thinking about! LOL

They hand pick all of their coffee, which means they don’t use gas to run the harvesters!

The main thing is they truly care for and respect their land and they are very environmentally responsible. I would love to try their wonderful coffee and I just love macadamia nuts! Thank you!

First of all, I LOVE Kona. We were just there for the first time in April and it is really a beautiful island.
I am SO impressed at the conservation efforts at this family run farm. I think that it is great that they are doing all they can to try to keep the environment green and to protect Mother Earth.
I like it that they are a family run business and this even goes to their trees…
From their site..
All our trees are related. It is part of the tradition of our ‘ohana. We take seeds from our most productive trees on our Ali’i Gardens Farm and plant them in our nursery. From the first planting in rich soil to the final roasted coffee bean, they become ‘ohana – one family.
That is just precious.
Oh, I just LOVE Kona coffee and macadamia nuts so I don’t even have to think twice about it…..just GIVE them to me….HA HA!!
