We first would like to tell you how excited we are about coffee and its wonderful – natural origins.
We were blessed to visit the amazing Kona Rainforest estate after doing our very first coffee show on the big island of Hawaii!
Our hosts Robert and Dawn Barnes, the estate owners were like Coffee heroes to us!
From the first moment they met us at the bottom of the farm we were transported into an organic heaven where nature and coffee grew side by side.
The coffee we were served on their front porch was unforgettable – The views and the taste of
Kona Rainforest Coffee will stay with me for my entire life!
Walking around the farm we learned how coffee was started from small seedlings
raised on the farm in small green houses…..
This red leaved tree was absolutely stunning…… Our planet is truly a miracle and must be treated like one.
It was such an organized farm with strategic planting , rows of coffee
trees with SUSTAINABLE areas left throughout the farm for nature to flourish.
Pictures of the flowers and vines throughout the borders of the farm…..
The flowers growing wild along the borders of the estate made one want to drink
coffee from this Rainforest – everyday!
Kilauea – the volcano on the big island of Hawiii is evidence of just how natural life
on this planet begins.
For the past few years the volcano has been erupting leaving ash and making new
land for our future children. You can see in all these pictures a slight haze over
everything.
This is ash from the volcano.
This is a fertile growing ground for coffee and there are many coffee farms & estates
in the Kona region of the big island of Hawaii.
“Thank you Robert and Dawn for a permanent memory!”

The Tightvac team headed to Las Vegas for the ASD Variety Merchandise show last week. The show had 2 whole convention centers for consumers and buyers to go see products. The Tightvac booth was busy and nearby booths played music and old friends were around. The ASD show definitely seemed much more lively this year than past shows. The team certainly had fun after the show seeing great shows around town such as Cirque du Soleil and eating from the various restaurants featured in Las Vegas!
Tightvac made a splash in Barcelona, Spain during the 3rd Edition of the Consumer Food Show – Degusta. Our distributor Roque Imports filled the booth with plenty of Tightvacs and showed consumers that our containers are the best strorage containers on the market!
