Between latitudes and the Tropic of Cancer, that is, the tropical and subtropical regions have a temperature of about 21 degrees Celsius and sunshine for a few hours a day. The terrain is mainly located in the Mid-levels of 300 to 400 meters, or the slopes of 1500 to 2500 meters. The higher the altitude, the higher the quality. Because the sunshine time is short and the drainage is good. Coffee trees like moist roots, high leaves among the trees, placed in the coffee garden, on the one hand to protect against the wind, on the other hand shade.

The mixed annual rainfall of decomposed volcanic soil, humic soil and permeable soil is very important, the rainfall time is very important, it is best to have intermittent heavy rain and strong sunshine during maturity, and a period of dry weather is needed during harvest.

Growth conditions of Coffee

Due to the influence of major geographical factors, such as latitude, temperature, topography, rainfall, sunshine, and so on, different coffee producing areas in different continents have been formed. With the climate and topography of the region, countries in Central and South America and Africa have been able to breed different varieties of coffee at the same latitude and altitude, and even some countries have become synonymous with mainstream coffee in the world. The distribution of coffee producing areas is also closely related to the eating habits of local residents.

With the equator as the center, in the tropics and subtropics between latitudes of about 25 degrees south and north, it is the most suitable area for growing coffee. However, good forests can not be cultivated anywhere in the region. The three major coffee growing areas in this section are: Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Africa. There are more than 60 coffee-producing countries, of which Central and South America account for about 60%, followed by Africa and Arabia for about 30%, and the remaining 10% are distributed in Asian countries and most islands. What these areas have in common is that the temperature and annual rainfall are about the same, and there is plenty of sunshine and fertile soil.

The main cultivated species are Arabica and Robusta, of which Arabica accounts for about 2/3 of the world coffee production. This kind of raw bean is not suitable for the environment of high temperature, low temperature, more rain and less rain. it is oval and flat; it is characterized by high quality and mellow taste. Arabica coffee beans, also known as Arabica Fruit Coffee, are small in size, slightly oval in shape, curved in the center, average in size and glossy in color. Most of the Roboda coffee beans, also known as stout coffee, are large and round, with straight cracks in the center, and are mainly produced in Uganda, Ivory Coast, Congo, say, Angola and other countries.

Three main Coffee growing areas

Arabica and Robbda, two common coffee varieties on the market, have spread for more than ten centuries. From its origin in Africa, it has taken root in the three main coffee growing regions (Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and Africa).
