What effect does altitude have on coffee quality?

When well cared for, coffee grown in the highlands will produce a coffee with a richer flavor and better acidity, while lowland coffees tend to produce less flavor and aroma. more acidity. And, just by saying that the coffee is grown at an altitude of 1,200m, it means that the coffee is of very good quality.

There are many areas in the world where elevation is used to classify coffee. This classification divides coffee into 3 main categories corresponding to three levels of high:

In Vietnam, there are only a few regions with suitable altitudes for coffee varieties such as Son La - Northwest or Di Linh - Lam Dong, most of the rest, the climate and topography of our country are suitable. than the Robusta variety. This is also the main reason for bringing our country to the leading position of exporting Robusta coffee.

The location where the coffee is grown gives a better taste

The higher the location, the more ideal it is to grow coffee and tea. Cool temperatures will slow the growth cycle and help bring out a more pronounced, full, and rich flavor to the kernels.

In addition, planting at a good altitude also helps coffee beans have a higher aroma and consistency than those grown in lowlands. The extended maturation cycle leads to the formation of complex sugars inside the coffee beans, resulting in a richer flavor, firmer beans and better flavor retention in storage. Finally, planting at high altitudes less harmful insects.
