30 STiR tea & coffee industry international equipment. "Back in 1988 we planted four Arabica varietals – Yellow Caturra, Red Catuai, Typica and Mokka," said Falconer. "At the time, it was consid- ered cutting edge to have multiple coffee varieties planted on a single estate. Through the years, we focused on refining our varietal approach to growing coffee and our harvesting and processing methods. Today, the fruits of our labor are paying off." KEC sold approximately 65,000 lbs of coffee in 1995, the first year of commercial production for the Kaanapali Estate. In 2013, more than 450,000 lbs of coffee were sold under the MauiGrown Coffee brand in Hawaii, the Continental U.S., Japan, Germany, Korea, Australia and Canada.

The cups' soft mesh filter uses significantly less packaging than rigid-side capsules and enables coffee drinkers to experience the fresh-roasted coffee's aroma. "We knew that we could offer a vastly better coffee experience, with a design that minimizes waste," said Jeffrey Newman, Boyd president and c.e.o. The coffees come in a variety of roast levels and include organic and Rainforest Alliance Certified™ options: French No. 6®, Red Wagon® Organic Coffee, Good Morning™, Hi-Rev® (delivers more caffeine), and Lost Lake™ Decaf Organic Coffee. The 12-count carton with a Fresh Lock® inner foil bag seals in freshness. Grocers, including select Albertsons and Roth's Fresh Markets, will carry the 12-count retail packages and a 20-count carton with individually wrapped cups is available for offices and restaurants. By 2018, market-research firm Mintel expects consumers to spend nearly as much on coffee pods as they do on bulk coffee. "While most of our business partners will continue to brew Boyd's Coffee the traditional way, adding a single-cup option gives them greater flexibility and profitability. For example, a restaurant owner might brew a single cup of decaf during a slower daypart for the freshest cup of coffee with the least amount of waste," Newman said. Learn more: www.boyds.com. James "Kimo" Falconer, president of Hawaii's MauiGrown Coffee ROCKVILLE, MD – Mayorga Coffee announced that all its offerings are now 100% organic and Non-GMO verified. The family-owned business has a history as a pioneer in direct-sourcing, sustainability and environmental issues since launched by Martin and Kerry Mayorga in 1997. "We believe in exclusively consuming organic products and avoiding GMO's in our food." said Kerry Mayorga. The company acted now rather than waiting for proper labeling legislation demanding disclosures, she said. With chemicals and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) now present in more than 75% of conven- tional processed food, choosing Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified is the most reliable way for families to avoid GMOs, according to Mayorga which complies Hawaii's MauiGrown Coffee Plantation
