Anbautipps

Grow Arabica at 1000-2000 m elevation for premium quality — altitude slows cherry maturation, producing denser beans with more complex flavors.

Establish shade trees (Inga, Grevillea, Erythrina) before planting coffee — 40-60% shade cover reduces stress, extends cherry ripening, and supports biodiversity.

Monitor for coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix) during warm, humid weather — copper-based fungicides applied preventively before the rainy season are most effective.

Prune to maintain a single-stem or multi-stem system — remove vertical suckers and exhausted primary branches to keep production on vigorous 2-3 year old wood.

Harvest only fully ripe (red/yellow) cherries by selective hand-picking — unripe or overripe cherries dramatically reduce cup quality and price premiums.

Apply organic mulch (coffee pulp, grass cuttings) 10-15 cm deep around the drip line to maintain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and recycle nutrients.
