Summers bring gentle breezes that are cool without being hot, rainy without being humid, and winters that are not cold enough to cause frost damage.

Coffee trees are mostly planted in farmers' own backyards or intercropped with other agricultural crops, with small production per household, representing typical pastoral coffee.

This describes the pleasant sensation of flower-like notes stimulating the taste buds and olfactory cells.
