...mere ten minute walk away, there is an antidote for HUDS-dulled taste buds: Christina’s Spice and Specialty Shop. As soon as one walks through the door, hallucinogenic wafts of star anise and cardamom replace the Mass. Ave. car exhaust. The 80-plus varieties of spices often find their way into the ice cream made in its adjacent sister shop, in the much-touted Christina’s Ice Cream.

...Despite the marauding elephants and trigger-happy locals, the best way to explore the sights, sounds and smells of coffee country is to take a random stroll. You may spy wild boars or deer?or a villager hurrying to the forest to collect honey and herbs. Cardamom, pepper, ginger and cinnamon grow in abundance, in both cultivated and wild varieties. The coffee bushes blossom in March and April. Even during the busy November harvest season, when guests are invited to join in the berry picking, any visitor will feel a splendid isolation surrounded by the giant rosewood, fig and mahogany...
