You step off the minivan into a slow, green world where the hills demand you slow your pace. Mist clings to rows of coffee bushes and the farm’s paths slope gently underfoot; the air smells of wet earth and fresh roast. Over the next four to five hours you move through the full life of Colombian coffee — from seedling beds to cherry-picked branches and finally to the crackle of small roasters.
