A few people have asked how I come to have over 30kg of PNG Kimel on hand.
So heres to story.....
About this time last year (while I was still out of work after 9 months) I spotted a hole on that auction site I thought I could fill.
No one was selling green beans.
Plenty of brown to be had but no green.
So I asked Hazel where I could get some green beans and she gave me the name of a wholesaler she knows.
I rang and introduced myself and he agreed to sell me a 60kg bag of greens.
He said he wouldnt normally sell less than 1 tonne but would make an exception for me. :-?
The Kimel was the best he had at the time and so thats why its the one I have.
The Bay of Evils thing didnt work out.
I made one sale and got excellent feedback for it but some of the existing roasted bean sellers immediately jumped on my idea and started offering green beans as well.
One in particular undercut my price by a few cents and upped the kg amount a little as well to try and make my offer look worse.
I was a bit upset by this at first as theyd been selling roasted for quite some time and one even sells machines.
None of them had seen the opportunity to sell green before I came along and to me it seemed greedy.
Im over those feelings now as the green sales didnt work for them either.
Strange. People buy almost anything on that site but green coffee beans just dont attract buyers.
The good news is I had lots of beautiful Kimel left over for myself and a few friends and work colleagues.

),.. from about the 50th sale onwards as my regular buyers began to fight for them once they had won previous auctions and seen the quality first hand.
