Rain Water Harvesting in Coffee Plantations (INeedCoffee.com) (#)
„In a study for over a decade inside the Plantation we have observed that no matter what the topography is, water creates its own DEFINITE PATHS and need not necessarily trickle down to the lowest point of the mountain. But what is definite is that the water which percolates inside the coffee mountain creates a network of arteries and veins, resulting in moisture ZONES within the entire mountain. The topmost point of kirehully estate is around 200 feet. We have excavated around six water tanks covering an area ranging from one hectare to two hectares, along various slopes of the coffee hill.“

This Guy Knows His Beans (INeedCoffee.com)
„He also stores about 30 pounds of green, unroasted coffee beans, bagged by the pound and labeled carefully to indicate the very plantation from which they originated in a dozen or so countries around the world. He brews some of those beans in his apartment as espresso or cappuccino for personal consumption. But he also subjects them to experimentation in Martin Chemical Laboratory as he seeks to discover the molecular components of the ultimate bean.“

„These days, there is considerably more to Cafe Britt than a cafe. The company consists of a plantation where coffee is grown, a roaster, three cafes, and a mail-order service. The cafes have prime locations in Heredia, San Jose, and Poas Volcano National Park.“

Biodiversity In Relation To Coffee Plantations (INeedCoffee.com)
„In the next few years the plantation landscape will be a picture of industries. Trees and plants replaced by industrial corridors, railways, petroleum lines, thermal stations and international airports. We are aware that the Western Ghats is one vital link which will protect future generations in a number of ways. What is first needed is an understanding that nature is a part of our wellbeing and it has a perfectly complimentary role to play.“
