The first time I saw a cocoa orchard my husband and I were living on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. Miles from the city center, the trees clung to the hills, their trunks speckled with tiny pink and white flowers until the red and yellow fruit pods appeared resembling loose teeth in a kindergartener’s smile.
