AACCK!  If you are blending Kona with anything I have to question two
things: your sanity and/or your choice of Kona.  True 100% Estate Grown Kona
does not need to (and in my opinion should not ever) be blended with
anything.  What a waste!  Too much work and quality goes into the beans for
each cup to muck it up with anything (and yes I am using the phrase "muck it
up with" and implying the word chile).  Save the Chock Full o' Nuts for that
type of experiment!
    Sorry for the OT, but as a daughter of Kona coffee farmers I had to
interject.

P.S. on topic:  Yesterday was probably the last big harvest day before a
frost.  I cannot believe the yield on the lemon drops, Devil's Tongue, and
Datils.  Actually all of them surprised me in a very good way.  Now I must
process to my hearts content.
