THIS ROASTING BEHEMOTH - having taken me unawares as i knew not what to expect, is a multisensory
control-freak metal megalomaniac, heating rotating and regulating green beans in her sleep while pondering her next romantic sultraportation to the vibrationally paralleled spacefold of her primordial homeland, while we're sleeping.

i have it in good confidence that for her, the mere perfection-polish of bush seeds in virtuoso convective-radiative drum-air pirouetting parlay, is the equivalent of us sidestepping a crack in the sidewalk.

still i awe.
in steamed nirvana i stand witness.
this glazed art hath no equal.

IN THE BEGINNING......

...the seed fell from Mother Plant and grew more plants, which spread upon the african jungle and flourished.

THE ANIMALS did frolic by, and in hunger ate of the fruit. and frolic grew to include all of the clan.

AND IN THE FROLIC came joy, and joy spread between other animals. and the jungle saw and was happy.

THE NAKED APE one day saw frolic and wished to know this frolic. and naked ate of the fruit and was happy. soon all of the nakeds frolicked and fruit was brought to jungle of the outside.

THEN ONE DAY seed fell upon the fire of the nakeds. and arose such a glorious waft that soon nakeds put seed upon every fire, and of the waters in every fire. and joy grew to include every naked of every land.

AND SO IT CAME TO PASS that the animals did defecate seed for the flourish of the soil, and seed was put upon the soil in greenhouses, and onto jungle to honor Mother Plant.

AND MOTHER PLANT saw her joy of the earth was brought to many, and was happy.

WELCOME TO NEPAL ORGANIC FARMING
...at this research station, a veritable Disneyland for anyone wanting to see some journeyman-level excellence in how to put on an agri-research project-

COFFEE is grown- organically of course- in  a variety of manners; some
are to simulate BEST-quality conditions and to refine the definition of
what that is,
and some (like full-shade and full-sun conditions), are intended to bring out the
diseases or bad creepy-crawlies, to stage battle with scientifically-approved
opponents.

NEPAL, an ancient-most divine himalayan kingdom and birthplace of Buddhism
and Hinduism, with the 3rd-highest mean elevation in the world at 2565 meters,
and 8 out of the tallest 10 peaks in the world,
AND sitting at a frosty 28 degrees latitude- waaay north of the publicized
tropical-coffee-sweetspot Tropic of Cancer-
is at first glance not meant to produce coffee. at all.

Yet, the Nepali government recently announced the country to be producing officially at 96% Organic Coffee,
beyond the realistic imaginings of any country,
in these chemswilled modern times.

SO, don't count the alpine-king out, when it comes to contributing serious
wisdoms to Coffee Universe.

fyi, the mean elevation for the entire world is 840 meters (2756 feet).
and Nepal's vast region of tropical swelter, replete with all manners of
paradisa exotica and elephants too is somehow,
and strangely, so not Africa.
