Maui coffee was so incredible that we had to check out some of the island’s more than 50 coffee farms, many of them perched 600 feet above sea level with gorgeous views of mountains and valleys on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other. The island offers the perfect climate for growing coffee beans – just the right amount of rain combined with soil enriched by volcanic ash. Most of the farms are small, and their young owners are putting their hearts and efforts into shaping their Maui coffee as a new, unique alternative to the Big Island’s traditional Kona coffee.
