Most of us look forward to that first cup of coffee or tea of the day.

Besides plain water, they are our most popular beverages. Coffee and tea drinks are delicious, nutritious and give us an energy boost.

Are you a coffee aficionado? Can you identify the differences between arabica and robusta? Do you grind roasted coffee beans at home? Are you the first among your friends to try a new brand or blend?

Or is your kitchen perfumed with the scent of loose tea leaves and with teapot and strainers at the ready?

You’re the kind of person who’d most enjoy a coffee farm or tea plantation tour in some exotic far-off place.

Didn’t know these tours exist? Now you do!

If you are in Cape Town #SouthAfrica on Saturday, 18 June 2016, don’t miss the city’s first ever Coffee and Tea Crawl!

Here are a few other examples to consider:

Ethiopia — Africa The arabica coffee plant is said to be native to the country of Ethiopia. Ethiopians are friendly people and proud of their history. You’ll learn firsthand about how coffee is grown here and enjoy watching coffee-centered ceremonies. (FANOS Ethiopia Tours)

Colombia — South America For many North Americans, their morning coffee is the kind that originated in the jungles of Colombia. Coffee farmers there are often multi-generational, and some farming communities go back well over 100 years. (Colombia Eco Travel)
