The tea and coffee crops demand evenly distributed rainfall and no problems of water logging. The hill slopes provide an easy drainage for rain water and helps to prevent water logging. The tea and coffee plantations grow well in loamy soil that is found in large quantities on the hill slopes.
The cooler temperatures and better drainage at higher elevations can improve the flavor, quality, and complexity of the final product.
Tea and coffee are grown at high altitudes due to favorable climate conditions, such as cooler temperatures that enhance flavor development, rich soil quality, increased sunlight for photosynthesis, reduced pests and diseases, and the unique flavor profiles that result from these growing conditions. These factors contribute to healthier crops and more desirable products.
