Thai lime has infestation that looks like Coffee grounds

Tucson, AZ

Help! My precious Thai Lime has what appears to be coffee grounds on the under side of the leaves and on some branch tips and buds. Any one with any idea what this could be and how to get rid of it? Would a soapy solutions sprayed on work? What ever it is comes off easily.

Thanks,

Can you post a picture? Could be scale but they're usually more rounded looking bumps, don't know that I'd describe them as looking like coffee grounds.

Here's a photo. Should have thought of that. Not quite so much "coffee grounds" tonight. I think they're bug vermin of some sort.
