So the temperature&nbsp;must never go below 0\u00b0C and moreover, the places where the coffee grows must not have&nbsp;excessive temperature changes during the year.<br>Arabica prefers a temperature between 18\u00b0C and 22\u00b0C. Whereas Robusta can also&nbsp;tolerate a temperature of 28\u00b0C.<br>As for humidity, it has to be there because it reduces the transpiration from leaves.<br>But it&nbsp;must not be extreme otherwise it would compromise the coffee quality in the cup.<br>As for rain, it is also necessary for proper growth so much so that most of the water the&nbsp;plants need comes during the rainy seasons. There are few plantations mechanically<br>irrigated and they are usually located in rich countries such as Brazil.<br>However, rain must&nbsp;not be uninterrupted during the year.<br>To get a correct flowering and drupes production, the&nbsp;rainy season has to stop otherwise, even in this case, the coffee quality in the cup would&nbsp;be affected.<br>And lastly, sunlight. Coffee plants are heliophobic by nature.<br>They hate light, but we know&nbsp;sunlight is necessary for the flowering of any plant. A semi-shade condition is optimal for&nbsp;growth.<br>That is where the plant can enjoy the sun rays but, at the same time, it is protected&nbsp;by the shade of trees which reduces the thermal excursion risk (too much heat or cold).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section data-block=\"school-tease-block\" class=\"relative
