You step from a small van onto a slope of glossy coffee bushes; the air tastes like damp earth and citrus peel, and machines hum in a distant shed where cherries become beans. Walkways cut through shaded rows, farmers pass with practiced hands, and a steaming cup handed to you feels like a small proof of a long process.
