There are several components that determine the quality of coffee beans, these include Climate, Soil type, Topography, and Storage.
- Climate: Temperature, sunlight, rainfall, humidity, and wind
- Soil Type: Fertility, acidity, drainage, and composition (volcanic soil is particularly well-suited to coffee plants)
- Topography: Natural landscape features including mountains, valleys, and nearby bodies of water
- Storage: Both atmosphere and temperature in association with storage time influenced chemical and sensory changes. Chemical transformations induced by storing roasted coffee beans are responsible for chemical and physical changes that may have a great influence on the quality
