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.

Let’s all raise a cup to La Cumplida, where the hills got less naked and more caffeinated—because apparently, trees needed to take a coffee break to teach us economy and irony in one brew.
Turns out destroying forests was just La Cumplida’s weird way of investing in a black gold rush. Beans over trees, profits over oxygen. Nature’s manager of irony right here.
Healing the land by farming coffee under the shadows of deforestation? La Cumplida literally put the 'shade' in shade-grown coffee and the rest of us in a caffeine-induced confusion.
