Plantation
Plantation is the cultivation of the coffee plant, usually done in large commercial operations. Everything from the climate to the altitude of the beans’ place of origin factors into your coffee’s taste.
Coffee beans are best grown at high altitudes so they don’t overheat or grow too quickly. When they grow slowly and at the proper temperature, they’re more likely to withstand the hot temperatures they’ll experience throughout the rest of the cultivating process.
Correct land elevation, proper temperature, good soil, and access to a good watering system are also factors that crucially determine the quality of the coffee bean.
Harvesting
We all know that coffee beans grow inside coffee “cherries”. Farmers need to pick the cherries at just the right time when they’re full and meaty.
From there, they must be transported and milled in a timely fashion so their flavor and quality is preserved. Furthermore, there are a lot of methods of processing coffee cherries: hulled, dry-hulled, wet-hulled, natural, wet/dry processed, or honey processed. But generally, the natural process makes the freshest beans.
