"On the island, bird sightings, blue-shaded mountains, trickling springs, waterfalls and river bends provide the perfect setting for growing coffee. It's easy to understand how the coffee-growing community continues their occupation and stewardship of the land. The delicious fruit is just one of the rewards!"
