This is a worldwide giveaway folks, so listen up! There are some places on this planet that just seem to have a wee-bit-o-magic in them. Beaver Creek Coffee Estate is one of those places. We recently visited the beautiful estate and roastary in Port Edward, South Africa and we were impressed by how much there was to see and do on the farm.
There is a tour of the farm and their processes, an amazing restaurant, a shop, an espresso bar, 3 lovable dogs… the list goes on. Plus, if you are feeling adventurous you can take a mountain bike through the coffee fields and the surrounding farms. Once you are done exploring all the farm has to offer, the Port Edward beach is just a 10 minute drive away.
We walked the farm with one of Beaver Creek’s owners, Dylan Cumming. Dylan also happens to be a good friend of my Coffee Guy, and since he has visited us all the way out here in Burundi (and because he holds my boys’ hands and throws them over his shoulder) he’s my friend too.
Plus… he carried my gear bag (BONUS!)… if that’s not friendship I don’t know what is! 
Now we’re at the giveaway bit. This giveaway is for a sample pack of Beaver Creek’s finest coffees. They are willing to ship worldwide so that no-one will miss out.

“What coffee producing region would you most like to visit and why?”
I would love to visit South Africa (Burundi) What I like most about it is the nature with the hills and the animals that you can come in contact with. I also love african culture and the people. It would also be a great thing to be able to teach the kids in school English.
After reading your posts it’s like a dream to visit and help out on the farms and let people talk about the way things are going. It inspires me so much. I can’t even describe it.

In the heart of Africa coffee you’ll find the heartbeat of Burundian coffee. The warm, lush hills and the sun-kissed land infuse those little brown beans with love that you can taste!
However, if I win, I want my friend, Bruce Knutsen, to win the prize of going to visit his loved ones in Burundi!
I’ve shared this post on my FaceBook wall to my 1200 FB friends!
I would love a chance to visit El Salvador – if I ever got there I would move heaven and earth to visit Aida Batlle’s Finca Kilimanjaro.
Shared on Facebook. Keep up the awesome work in Burundi!
I’d love to visit Hawaii! Always wanted to go there and would love to visit the coffee plantations there.
Shared on FB ;-)
I’d like to visit and meet the farmers in the Sidamo or Yirgacheffe regions of Ethiopia because my kids were born in Ethiopia and I’d love to dovetail these two loves of mine (my kids and coffee)! (I tweeted this and posted it to Facebook. Love your photos!)
I would visit Burundi because:
a – its where I fell in love with my hubs,
b – my awesome panys sister lives there and I wanna visit!!!
C – I have a not-so-small crush on two crazy little chanas that live there and I need to hug them and see where they are growing up
D – did I mention that Ben is super cool and makes me laugh out loud? Plus he makes a mean cappacino and I would travel the world for that cuppa goodness.
Sharing this on fb now…. Love you guys sooo much!
I liked this page and shared it on my facebook page. :) Re: where I’d most like to visit among coffee-producing regions, well – let’s be honest. I really didn’t know what the major coffee producing regions are b/c I’m an ignorant coffee drinker (although am becoming a bit more informed thru your blog!), SO I had to google it. ;) Now that I have, however, I’m going to have to go with Costa Rice b/c I’ve heard it’s amazingly beautiful.
Peru. Walking the Inca trail with a thermos of nutty Peruvian :).
Liked on Facebook, shared on Twitter. Hurry, my Catuai is nearly finished :)
I would love to visit Kenya because the coffee there produced is my absolute favourite!
Hi Guys, great blog and experience! Tanzania, Africa’s heart of coffee and awesome people! (Zanzibar before leaving…lol) and then pop around to Burundi to fetch my beans for Durban’s new roastery (dreaming…) Liked and shared on FB! Love to all…
I would like to go to Peru – i love the culture and a bunch of my friends just came back from a trip there and had amazing stories and photos!

Sulawesi in Papua New Guinea

Coffee is great but people are better. I would visit you guys in Burundi and I’ve thought about it quite often OR I would want to meet you somewhere else in Africa and tour coffee fields together.

Cheers!
I would love to go to Ethiopia and visit their coffee hills… but really, anywhere in East Africa would be enjoyable! I shared this blog entry via twitter.

Visiting some of the coffee hills around Burundi, along with the adventurous B. Carlson family;and meeting the farmers who work the washing station in which cousin Keith has a vested interest, that is my coffee growing area “dream visit”.
