Morning Mist Over Costa Rican Tea Terraces

by Astrid Esparza

Low sunlight pierces the humid coastal air, illuminating rows of tea bushes climbing the terraced slopes of a Costa Rican plantation. Thick morning mist rests on the valley floor, softening the transition between the emerald green hedges and the darker earth below. The monsoon season leaves the leaves glistening with moisture, their surfaces reflecting the pale gold of the rising sun. Workers move along the narrow ridges, their movements urgent as they harvest the fresh shoots. Wooden stakes mark the boundaries of the plots, while the steep gradient of the hillside emphasizes the labor required to maintain the crop. one drop of dew slides from the tip of a leaf onto the soil.
