Coffee growing area

There are three main coffee growing areas in the world, with different flavors due to their different topography, climate, planting methods and processing techniques. Starbucks coffee buyers shuttle between the Tropic of Cancer coffee planting belts and buy the best beans, those that have been carefully selected to represent the unique flavor of each place.

The Starbucks purchasing team and the coffee quality team work with suppliers, who know the specific flavor Starbucks requires in a particular planting area. This allows them to provide a range of coffee from specific coffee-producing countries to meet Starbucks' needs.

The planting temperature of coffee tree is between 15 and 25 degrees, and the rainfall is between 1500 and 2000 mm. It needs well drained pozzolanic soil, while sunlight, rainfall, soil, air temperature, harvest and production process will affect the quality of coffee itself.

Influence of coffee bean planting altitude

In the field of coffee, altitude marks quality

High altitude: high-quality Arabica coffee beans grow at the highest altitude where coffee trees can grow, that is, anywhere above 450,900-1800 altitude is ideal for coffee cultivation. At high altitudes, the special microclimate breeds high-quality coffee beans with its perfect match of temperature, sunshine and rain. On the other hand, the colder temperature at night also delayed the ripening time of coffee berries, making the coffee flavor more full.

Low altitude: Robbins coffee usually grows at low elevations. They have larger fruit, faster ripening time, but lower density than Arabica coffee. Robart coffee trees are easier to cultivate and are more resistant to disease. Robbins coffee is grown in almost half of the world because it is easier to grow, but it tends to have a low flavor.

Coffee bean density: how does the altitude of the coffee growing area affect the quality of coffee? At high altitudes, warmer temperatures during the day and colder temperatures at night can slow the growth of coffee berries. The longer growth time of coffee trees means that coffee beans have more time to form rich and complex flavor curves. What is the result of growing coffee in the highlands? Coffee beans are harder, smaller, and have a rich and complex flavor. The higher the density of coffee beans, the greater the baking depth they can withstand.
