Terroir
Course & Certification
Great coffee is the result of a plant’s genotype and the terroir that surrounds it. The environmental factors of climate, soil, and farming techniques combine to create the terroir of a coffee farm. This course explores how the terroir determines the character of a coffee and the success of a crop. Among all the environmental factors that could affect a coffee plant in its lifetime, some, such as altitude, are impossible to alter. Others, such as soil nutrition, can be altered, but only with vast capital expenditure. To get a clearer picture of how expensive farm management can be and how certain aspects of terroir can affect a plant’s phenotype, we conducted a broad range of interviews with scientists, agronomists, and green buyers.
This course provides an overview of the factors you can control, while producing a sustainable crop and a great-tasting cup.
All of our courses and certifications are available through BH Unlimited as a monthly subscription or as a single course purchase, giving you access for life!
