If these trees could talk, they might ask a simple question:
“Why planted us here… only to leave us unnoticed?”
Excelsa and Liberica have always stood outside the attention given to Arabica and Robusta.
The same way their land is often dismissed as “not the best for Arabica.” But it never was the land intended for Arabica.
Bringing back the recognition Excelsa and Liberica deserve is also bringing back respect to the land, and to the people who have cared for it all along.
A recognition that arrived 100 years late.
Maybe it’s time now!
