Central to this journey is the meticulous process of seed selection and planting, where each step is crucial in nurturing the future harvests while caring for the land. It\u2019s a process that Bio-Arco\u00edris takes seriously. Let\u2019s dig in!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>Early Days<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Coffee plants belong to the genus *Coffea*, with several species cultivated for commercial purposes. The two most prominent species are *Coffea arabica* and *Coffea canephora* (commonly known as Robusta). Arabica is prized for its complex flavors and is grown at higher altitudes, while Robusta is hardier and often used in blends or for instant coffee production. Bio-Arco\u00edris only utilices Arabica beans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Bio-Arco\u00edris\u2019 producers rely on the knowledge of Indigenous landkeepers that have come before them to guide the process of seed selection and nurturing. The beans for seeds are selected from plants that have matured at least three years and showed strong characteristics. After careful hand de-pulping, gentle washing and drying so as to not hurt the embryos, the seeds are planted in a mixture of soil and sand. Careful monitoring of temperature and humidity levels are essential during this stage to ensure healthy seedling development, as well as the use of natural methods to ward off infection or other early \u201csickness.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>Planting in the Ideal Location<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Coffee plants thrive in tropical and subtropical climates, like the Yungas region where Bio-Arco\u00edris is located. Factors such as altitude, rainfall, soil type, and sunlight exposure are carefully considered to ensure the best conditions for healthy growth and quality yield.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Once the healthily-developed seedlings have reached what producers refer to as their \u201cbutterfly\u201d or \u201cmariposita\u201d stage after 50-60 days, they are moved to pots for further maturation. A few months later, they are ready for transplantation to the field. The planting process involves digging holes spaced appropriately to allow for optimal growth and airflow between plants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Bio-Arco\u00edris is forever grateful to the knowledge of landkeepers over many generations that have allowed the region cooperative members live on and continue to care for, while producing the beans you get to enjoy around the world. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sqsrte-large\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><span class=\"sqsrte-text-color--accent\">Stay tuned for the next blog to learn more about how our team continues to care for the plants as they grow the coffee you love.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">The first in a series of coffee spotlights highlighting all that goes into the beginnings of a coffee plant.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3284,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[49,59,48,52,51,53,57,58,55,50,46,60],"class_list":["post-3283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sin-categoria","tag-andes","tag-arabica","tag-bolivia","tag-coffee-beans","tag-coffee-cooperative","tag-coffee-plants","tag-ecological","tag-indigenous","tag-organic-farming","tag-specialty-coffee","tag-sustainable","tag-yungas","item-inner"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
