Planting
The best Arabica coffee seeds are selected for planting by hand in special nursery beds of a mixture of soil and compost to produce future coffee crops. After 5 to 8 weeks, the plant is placed into planting bags where it grows for about six more weeks. Then, the young coffee plant is delicately transplanted under a canopy of tropical trees.
