There are many factors involved including the following: 1) the land is filled with chemicals that will take years to deplete back to normal levels, 2) the land is typically left very infertile since no real nutrients have been added and 3) it would be years before the delicate Premium Coffee varieties could grow because they are not resistant to the chemicals in the ground. In brief, it would be nearly impossible to reclaim damaged land to grow premium coffee varieties. The reason we are able to produce Premium Coffee is because we only use virgin land that has never been used for commercial operations. Seed stock is limited to a select group of growers. We grow our own seed stock assuring the continuation of these delicate varieties just as nature intended.
