Description: Imagine yourself discovering new flavors and fragrances and the origins of some of the ones you have already experienced but have not known much about, and doing this in the midst of an exuberant rain forest, surrounded by an intense array of wild leaves and flowers, from a diversity of plants that are hard to believe are real, tasting exotic fruits that you didn't even know existed.
