a slope less than 15% is preferable. Steeper slopes present a major erosion risk and require terracing or special management such as contour furrows or preferably grass strips.

A slight slope will improve air drainage and reduce damage from frost. Do not plant coffee at the bottom of a slope or in shallow dips where cold air can pool, as frost damage is more likely here. Usually it is best not to plant the bottom third of a slope as it will be colder and sometimes waterlogged.

Exposed aspects subject to strong winds, should either be avoided or windbreaks such as Silver Oak (Grevillea robusta)established before planting the coffee trees.
