The suitability of a given site for good coffee production is determined by four basic environmental variables: temperature, availability of water, light intensity and soil conditions. All other geographical conditions, such as latitude, altitude or topographical factors such as exposure or aspect, only affect the coffee plants insofar as they interact with the four basic variables. Another climatic element: air movement, does however, play an important role in the way it affects the crops.
