Although coffee is known and consumed throughout the world, it is only grown in a specific area, this area is called the “Coffee Belt.”
It is named this way because the area where coffee is grown around the world is delimited between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. Looking at this area on the globe, it can be seen that it forms a belt.
We might think that countries like the United States, Italy or France, due to their high consumption of coffee, are large producers of it, however, they only import the beans, roast them and distribute them, since their soils and climates are not suitable for coffee trees to survive.
The coffee plant is a plant that requires certain conditions to be able to develop and prosper satisfactorily. These conditions are: tropical climate, warm temperatures, alternating wet and dry cycles, altitude, and soil characteristics. These conditions are only found in the coffee belt.
Life is too short to drink crappy coffee...drink Costa Rican coffee!! 😉
