This topic explains how terroir factors such as soil, altitude, climate, and farming practices translate into sensory outcomes in the cup, and how these links are mapped and understood by producers, roasters, and consumers.
This topic explains how altitude and temperature gradients shape coffee growth, yield, and flavor, and why these environmental factors are crucial to terroir and quality expression.
This topic introduces the concept of the Coffee Belt—the latitudinal zone where coffee grows best—explaining its geographic range, climatic conditions, and why it is central to global coffee production.
This topic explains how different coffee cultivars express terroir—the interaction of genetics with environment—shaping cup profiles, identity, and consumer appreciation of origin.
This topic explores how altitude and temperature shape coffee growth, yield, and flavor, explaining why terroir is central to coffee’s identity and quality.
This topic explores how coffee plants capture energy through photosynthesis, how they respond to shade versus direct sunlight, and how environmental stress affects their growth, yield, and cup quality.
