sun-grown

Not under shade

Sun-grown describes plants, especially tobacco or coffee, cultivated in direct sunlight rather than under shade.

The term distinguishes agricultural methods: sun-grown coffee typically produces higher yields but different flavor profiles than shade-grown varieties.

Sun-grown tobacco leaves are thicker and more robust.
