Kim Johnson started drinking
coffee at the tender age of seven, corrupted by a mum who taught her
small children to make the morning coffee and bring it to her in bed.
Permanent addiction was confirmed when her first boyfriend gave her a
coffee grinder. Lewis once gave her a teapot, but he later redeemed
himself by giving her a Kona Coffee Farm. A California native, she
learned to swim as soon as she could float, and has been in the water
ever since. When not picking and processing Kona Coffee, she shows and
breeds
Gold-Rush Golden
Retrievers and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. If you all don't buy
enough Left Coast Farm 100% Kona Coffee, she has to work as a Quality
Control Nurse, but she would prefer not to.
Lewis Johnson was a tea drinker until he married Kim, when all of his tea paraphernalia mysteriously disappeared. He is an avid home roaster, which is hard on the smoke alarms. When not whacking down bamboo and planting coffee trees, he is a Professor at the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute. He is a professional singer, performing with groups such as the Los Angeles Master Chorale, the Ventura Master Chorale and the Los Angeles Opera.
Lewis and Kim have been married
twenty years, and split their time between their left coast homes in
Venice, California and Honaunau, Hawaii. Between the two of them they
have enough frequent flyer miles to round-trip to Mars, if they could
only find the time.
