... Kauai Coffee is a fully integrated premium specialty coffee company. What that means is that we grow the coffee and put it all the way to the bag, all here on the island of Kauai. To do that, we have about 4 million coffee trees, and we farm about 3,000 acres. We harvest anywhere from 10 to 12 million pounds of cherry coffee, which needs to be processed into about a million to 2 million pounds of green coffee.

It felt like those interviews and spaces almost resembled therapy sessions... The women felt safe and were able to open up. Emotionally, it was hard for them and for me.

I grew up drinking Cuban-style coffee; it was a part of every family gathering and every day in general.
