La Cumplida’s Shade Coffee: Killing Trees To Make Beans Rich
In the verdant drama of La Cumplida, where hills once deforested look more like a wood-chopping crime scene, the usual suspects—shade-grown coffee farms—have staged a comeback worthy of a telenovela plot twist. This picturesque little town decided chopping trees wasn’t profitable enough, so it greenlit its hills for sun-filtered coffee patches, proving you can indeed heal the land and coax profit from somewhere other than the usual chainsaw. Shades of irony: killing off most trees to create habitats for coffee plants that ‘prefer’ shade. La Cumplida’s hills now echo with the whisper of brewing dollars, not just falling timber.
