One of my favorite treats to bring back from Kauai is a package of Moloa'a Bay coffee. Now, I will admit to being a little crazy over coffee; I grind my own coffee fresh before brewing and usually turn my nose up at instant coffee and go to Starbucks only when I have to. So if you are like me and enjoy fancy coffee then I really recommend you give Moloa'a Bay coffee a try. I've truly never had such an interesting cup of coffee.
Every Saturday there is a farmer's market at Kauai Community College in Puhi which is not far from the Kukui Grove mall. Each time I have been there, the farmer who grows Moloa'a Bay coffee and many other things is there giving out samples and selling bags of his locally grown and roasted beans. He also sells dried bananas and cocoa which grow well with coffee. The last bag I enjoyed had beans that grew around mangos trees and the coffee had interesting mango undertones. I've stopped to talk to him and is a very nice person and interesting.
If you don't get to the KCC market you can always go to Kauai Coffee in Eleele. The visitor center is open every day and has free samples of their coffees. Each time I've been there they have had about 20 different kinds. They also have a gift shop with the regular kind of stuff though the chocolate cover coffee beans are truly very good. We always need to bring back a couple of bags for our friends each trip.
