What is a shade coffee plantation?
Coffee is native to Africa. It is cultivated
in tropical and subtropical areas around
the world. Within the U.S., coffee is
cultivated in Hawaii and in Puerto Rico.
In natural settings, coffee grows in the
forest understory tolerating shade from
forest canopy trees. Traditionally, coffee
has been cultivated under a shading
canopy of natural forest or planted
shading trees.
