Coffee Appreciation

Just been to visit a coffee plantation on Kauai in Hawaii, very interesting, the flowers on the coffee bushes smell and look a little like Jasmine and the fresh beans kinda smell like string beans....

Will pop some photos up when I am back

As mentioned - a couple of shots from the Kauai coffee plantation:

Interestingly the different varieties of plant/bean all had very different smelling flowers - these ones were very Jasmine like, smelt great just after it had rained
You can just about make out the white flowers on the plants here:
