Coffee Tourism at Its Best

For all of you coffee lovers out there, you may want to marry the best of both worlds and have an actual coffee touring vacation. Is it even possible? Yes, you better believe that it is...

• Ethiopia: We are all familiar with the fact that this is the birthplace of coffee, and they also have ceremonial tastings to celebrate their delicious brew. Half of the coffee in Ethiopia is grown at an altitude of more than 5000 feet, so you have the opportunity to travel and trek to sample your cup of Joe in an adventure setting within a memorable vacation.
• Brazil: Brazil is the largest coffee producing country in the world, and it is also full of beautiful coffee plantations. If you visit in the season of July to September, you can also witness the coffee harvesting and become a part of the fun!
• Indonesia: The sixth largest island in the world is in Indonesia called Sumatra. You may be familiar with the name of this coffee bean variety since it produces a deep and dark roast with a very full body. When visiting Indonesia, you also have the opportunity to check out very unique wildlife, like elephants and orangutans, in adventure tours as you explore.
• Jamaica: Who doesn't want to go to Jamaica? But in addition to the beautiful atmosphere, you can also visit the Blue Mountains that have an altitude of 7402 feet. They are covered in a mist and low cloud cover, which provides a shady atmosphere for the coffee beans to grow and mature to develop deep flavor characteristics. That is precisely why Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is so delicious, expensive, and highly valuable.

So where will it be? If you're interested in finding out more about the origins of your cup of Joe, you can couple that with a one-of-a-kind vacation to an exotic locale that you will never forget!
