In Costa Rica, shift in climate stirss coffee farmers to adapt

Paraphrase of an article by Melissa Allison, The Seattle Times, published in the March 20, Arkansas Democrat Gazette:

Santa Maria De Dota, Costa Rica has been home to some of the world's best arabica coffee beans for more than a century. Now farmers are planting at nearly 7,000 feet - thanks to higher temperatures. Like many tropical crops, coffee cannot tolerate extreme hgh and low temperatures, and it needs dry and wet seasons. Costa Rica and Colombia appear to be feeling the impact of climate change first. These problems are helping push up the price of a lattee or espresso at coffee shops everywhere.
Costa Rica grows only arabica beans, taking advantage of the volcanic soil at high elevations to produce some of the world's mst sought after coffee. Farmers learned long ago to negotiate the country's microclimates. Now they must adapt to the new changes.
