What is so great about Shade Grown Coffee?
A. There are multiple reasons Shade Grown Coffee is so great. First, you need to know what Shade Grown coffee is. Shade grown coffee is coffee that is grown with a canopy of diverse species of trees over top of the coffee. This was the way coffee was first found. But the USAID and other international organizations talked farmers into growing a sun tolerant coffee that would have a higher yield per tree and allow for more trees per acre. This did actually up the amount of coffee being produced, but this practice has a large environmental impact.
