Comments on: A day in the life of Jobneel http://timwendelboe.no/2011/02/a-day-in-the-life-of-jobneel/ A weblog for the coffee roastery, coffee school and coffee bar Tim Wendelboe, located in Grünerløkka, Oslo, Norway Thu, 09 May 2013 17:58:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Tim Wendelboe http://timwendelboe.no/2011/02/a-day-in-the-life-of-jobneel/comment-page-1/#comment-4264 Tim Wendelboe Tue, 01 Mar 2011 19:37:18 +0000 http://timwendelboe.no/?p=2747#comment-4264 Thanks for your comment.
I think Jobneel is better off with better quality in regards to the old trees.
Planting new trees will take about 4 years before you get harvest and many years before you get top quality. But I do encourage him to stomp his trees to enhance more yield on the old trees. Also when he is stomping trees, some of the old will die and they are of course replaced with new trees. Jobneel is also expanding his farm to secure more income in the future.
I truly believe that even in the high priced market we are in today that Jobneel is better off on focusing on quality. I will continue to buy his coffee as long as the quality is there and we are always paying good prices for him. That means if he does his job, he will have a more secure income.

Establishing long term relationships like this is great for the farmer, and very exciting for us – the end consumer. I love the fact that I can read exactly what is being done at the farm and then later evaluate the result in the cup several years in succession. Thank you!

Sounds like the Jobneels are willing to listen to your recommendations. I am sure the improved processing and better sorting will pay dividents in the cup. Are you afraid that some of your recommendations could be a gamble though? What if your suggestion not to uproot the old trees deprives Jobneel of income he would otherwise have had?

Now we will cherish Cielito Lindo even more. It is one of our favorite coffees over here in Haugesund.

It was also really interesting to read a relationship had been created from this trip that would actually benefit both parties!
