You step from the warm light of Coatepec’s main road into a green hum—the farm’s trails climb through rows of shade trees and coffee plants, the morning mist clinging to leaves and daring you forward. The first stop is the seedbed, where tiny green shoots concentrate the promise of an entire harvest; further up, the mill’s iron bones rattle with the memory of cherry being turned into green bean. A barista waits at the end, fingers practiced in coaxing aroma and crema from a humble scoop.
