Finally visited that remote coffee farm I've been dreaming about

I just got back from a trip to a coffee farm in the mountains of Ethiopia. Seeing how the beans are grown and picked by hand was eye-opening, and helping with a tiny part of the harvest felt like a big personal win. What's the most memorable coffee-related place you've ever traveled to?

Honestly sounds like a tourist trap to me. All those fancy coffee trips just make the whole thing feel fake, like it's more for pictures than actually helping. Tbh I'd rather just drink my coffee without the guilt trip.

Totally, it's all performance over actual help.

Forget the coffee, @christopher_singh92. The real cost is the local housing and food prices that get pushed up for everyone who lives there.
