What Makes a Great Coffee Farm?

A great coffee farm combines favorable growing conditions with careful agricultural practices.

Altitude, climate, rainfall, soil, shade, coffee variety and harvesting practices can all influence coffee quality.

However, excellent coffee is rarely the result of one factor alone.

Selective harvesting, careful processing and good post-harvest handling are equally important.

Many specialty coffee farms also focus on sustainability, soil health, biodiversity and long-term relationships with coffee producers and buyers.
