Caffeine addicts should make a beeline for La Maison de Laurina, the owner of which grows a top-quality variety of coffee, the Bourbon Pointu. The admission price is a bit steep but it includes a two-hour visit to the plantation and tastings of various homemade delicacies flavoured with coffee (biscuits, liquor, rum). It's in Grand Coude.
