As some may remember, Bob Wilson was kind enough to offer a swap of some
of the Smith Farms Kona for some other beans I had. I think the swap
went off well. Bob sent me a good sample of the coffee and I sent him
some of the new SM Harar Green Stripe and SM Brazil Cerrado.
I hope he enjoyed the ones I sent him as much as I enjoyed the Kona he
sent me.
The advantage to doing it this way was that I got to try a pretty
expensive bean that I most likely would never have tried because of that
cost, or at least the advantage to me was that. I found that I liked
the Kona, but not enough to want to add it to my selection. If I had
bought a pound and found that out, I would not be happy.
I think swaps like this are something to think about. The ability to
try out some different beans for only the cost of postage makes sense to
me. The only other way is to buy samplers from our favorite suppliers.

Wow, sounds like you made out real good there. Think Bob would take
some 12 year old Vietnamese Robusta for a trade? I will even pick out
the bugs and tire rubber for him prior to shipment.
Ha ha. Only kidding.
