"Coffee-growing is a long job. It does not all come out as you imagine, when, yourself young and hopeful, in the streaming rain, you carry the boxes of your shining young coffee-plants from the nurseries, and, with the whole number of farm-hands in the field, watch the plants set in the regular rows of holes in the wet ground where they are to grow, and have them thickly shaded against the sun, with branches broken from the bush, since obscurity is the privilege of young things."
-Out of Africa, by Karen Blixen
