You step off a quiet dirt road into high green: a cool, humid forest where coffee shrubs thread between mature trees and sugar cane stalks edge small clearings. The air smells of wet earth and roasting beans; a guide hands you a steaming cup and the day begins with a simple question—where does the cup in your hand start?
