Some older varieties of Arabica coffee are grown here, although their yields are lower than those of other varieties, but they are generally of high quality. The people here have been adopting an ecologically conservative, intensive farming method, using only low-toxicity fertilizers and chemicals, and adopting mixed crop cultivation measures to make the soil more fertile. When it was time to pick the beans, people walked back and forth between the trees, picking only the fully ripe beans, and then washing them in a roller for 48 hours.
