I received a coupon in the mail from McDonald's, where I got a FREE cup of their new "Iced Coffee" (Regular, Vanilla or Hazelnut). I'm NOT a big McD.'s fan but my husband and I LOVED coffee!!! We liked it.
It got me thinking about taking a field trip to HAWAII. Pack your bags and come along with me!!!
Hawaii may be best known for producing pineapples and macadamia nuts. Did you know that Hawaii also produces coffee? Kona coffee groves thrive near the world's largest volcano, Mauna Loa, on the big island of Hawaii.
You can see how Kona coffee gets from bean to cup by taking a tour of the Kona Coffee Mill! You'll see the coffee groves, coffee flowers, unripe coffee "cherries," and see how the beans are removed from the coffee fruit. Through text and photographs you'll learn how the beans are processed, sorted, and roasted to produce Kona coffee.
You don't have to let the learning stop here. You can do a study on Hawaii and their volcano, the other islands of Hawaii, pineapples and macadamia nuts.
The best part of this field trip is that I can enjoy another iced coffee!!!
Blessings,
