In summary, sustainable coffee planting involves harnessing the shade-loving nature of coffee trees such as robusta and arabica. Liberica and Excelsa, with their towering presence, serve as protective canopies in both lowland and upland environments. This method optimizes coffee production while reducing the need for pesticides, fostering a balanced and eco-friendly approach to coffee cultivation.he lowlands or in the uplands. In the lowlands the robusta can grow below them and in the uplands the arabica can grow under their canopy.

===1. Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora)===

Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) is extensively cultivated in the Philippines and is particularly well-suited to lowland regions. This preference for lowlands can be attributed to a combination of factors, including its resilience, disease resistance, and high caffeine content. Additionally, Robusta thrives in warmer temperatures, which are typically found in lowland areas. In contrast, the cooler temperatures of highland regions are less favorable for Robusta production, resulting in reduced yields. The beans of Robusta coffee offer a bold and full-bodied flavor profile, characterized by delightful notes of chocolate, nuts, and earthiness. Due to its robust nature and distinct taste, Robusta is commonly used in various coffee blends, instant coffee production, and serves as a popular base for espresso preparations.

The beans of robusta coffee are almost round, resembling an egg shape. Robusta trees yield a higher quantity of cherries per tree per season compared to other varieties.

===2. Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica)===

Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) is highly esteemed for its exceptional flavor complexity, delicate acidity, and enticing aroma. In the Philippines, it thrives in elevated regions such as the Cordillera region and other mountainous areas. Arabica beans boast an extensive range of flavor profiles, encompassing fruity notes, floral undertones, and delightful hints of caramel and chocolate. However, cultivating Arabica coffee presents unique challenges due to its preference for cooler climates and specific growing conditions. The sensitivity of Arabica to heat necessitates its cultivation at higher altitudes, where the lower temperatures provide an ideal environment for its optimal growth. Despite the additional effort and care required, Arabica coffee's superior quality and nuanced flavors make it highly sought after by discerning coffee enthusiasts.
