Most coffee plantations in Indonesia are in the highlands.
Coffee plantation in Lembang is right at the foot of Mount Tangkuban Perahu.
In Malang, coffee plantations are right in the area of Mount Arjuna and where the typical Aceh coffee, Aceh Gayo, is located around Leuseur Mountain.
One of the factors that make an important altitude for a coffee tree is the resilience of the coffee tree itself.
With altitude and proper care, the coffee tree can continue to bear fruit for up to 70 years.
The coffee tree takes two years after planting in order to bear fruit. \
If it is below 1,000 meters or 800 meters, the coffee tree is difficult to grow and bear fruit.
From the results of research conducted by scientists from the University of Science and Technology Huazhong, China, revealed the existence of three compounds contained in coffee that can block toxic substances and build good protein to prevent insulin damage.
This is why researchers believe that coffee extracts of caffeine, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid can help develop effective treatment of diabetes.
"We found three major coffee compounds that could reverse the toxic process and could explain why drinking coffee could be associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes," explained lead researcher Kun Huang.
