Morning mist slides off the ridgelines as the van climbs toward bright green rows of coffee and the darker, glossy leaves of cocoa trees. The smell of wet soil and roasted beans is immediate — a practical, honest scent that tells you you’re in working country. Farmers meet you at the gate, hands stained with the land’s labor, and lead the walk through shade trees where hummingbirds dart and leaves drip with mountain humidity.
