Shade-grown coffee
Coffee shrubs are grown under a canopy of diverse tree species. These shade trees protect the coffee plants from excessive sunlight, maintain soil health, and enhance biodiversity.
Shade-grown coffee systems produce high-quality beans, support biodiversity (especially bird life), and are more resilient to climate variations than sun-grown coffee.
