As you drive south along the west coast of the Big Island, you can't help smelling the coffee roasting.
You are smelling the pride of the Kona coast - the best coffee produced in the United States. It comes from trees growing in the slowly decomposing lava flows that stripe the hillside along a milewide, 25-mile-long piece of land stretching from Holualoa south to Honaunau, locally considered "God's gift to the coffee bean."
Coffee is grown on most of the Hawaiian Islands, but Kona's well- drained basaltic soil is perfect, as is the rainfall - 60 to 90 inches a year at 1,100 feet, compared with 2 inches on the beaches only a mile away.
This cache offers you a chance to visit an operating Kona coffee farm. If you see the owner John, say aloha. He'll be glad to show you around.
There is some free Kona coffee for the first to find.
