The Huashan coffee road, shop by shop
A roadside strip built for visitors, and how to tell the good rooms from the view.
The strip
Twenty-odd shops along one ridge road, most with a terrace and a view of the plain. Almost all of them sell coffee grown within ten kilometres.
The density is the point: you can taste four farms in an afternoon without moving the car twice.
A view is free. A farm name is what you are actually paying for.
How to choose
Ask which farm the beans came from. Shops that answer with a name are worth sitting down in; shops that answer with 'local' are not.
The best view and the best cup are rarely the same building, and that is fine.
