Qianjie-introduction of Coffee planting conditions

The ideal planting conditions for coffee trees are as follows: the temperature is between 1500mm and 25mm, and the annual rainfall must reach 1500mm to 2000mm, and the rainfall time should be in line with the flowering cycle of coffee trees. Of course, in addition to the seasonal rainfall, there should also be fertile soil and good drainage. Rich soil containing volcanic ash, in addition, although sunlight is an indispensable element for the growth and fruiting of coffee, too strong sunlight will inhibit the growth of coffee trees, so various producing areas will usually cooperate with the planting of some shade trees. the ideal altitude is 500 to 2000 meters above sea level.

Temperature: the temperature requirements vary with the cultivated species, small seed species are more cold-resistant, like warm and cool climate, the average annual temperature is 19-21 degrees.

Rainfall: annual rainfall of more than 1250 mm, uniform distribution, especially in the flowering and small fruit development period, there is a certain amount of rainfall is most suitable for the growth and development of coffee.

Light: coffee trees are not resistant to strong light and need proper shade. The light is too strong and their growth is inhibited. If you add in the lack of water and fertilizer, there will be premature senility and even death. The shade is excessive, the branches and leaves are too long, the flowers and fruits are scarce and the yield is very low.

Wind: coffee likes a quiet breeze.

Soil: coffee tree has well-developed roots, shallow distribution of absorbing roots, and requires loose, fertile and well-drained loam.

Most of the coffee harvesting in the world is selected by hand, so it is a labor-intensive and seasonally intensive process. Since there are both flowers and fruits on the same branch, the index finger and thumb of the collector are the best tools for collecting ripe berries. Scraping the fruit off a whole branch by hand or using an automated harvester can't tell ripe berries from green berries.

Coffee farmers who produce low-grade coffee beans like to use labor-saving methods to harvest beans, but in this way, because the quality is not pure, it impairs the flavor of coffee and lowers the grade of coffee. The way to pick coffee beans in some parts of Africa is to shake coffee trees, shake the fruit off the ground, and pick it up from the ground before the fruit is injured and rotten. Secondary coffee is produced in most parts of Brazil, where coffee is picked by plucking all the leaves, flowers, overheated and green fruits from the branches at a time, and it takes two years for such damaged coffee trees to return to normal.

It can be seen that the conditions for the cultivation of high-quality coffee are quite strict: sunlight, rainfall, soil, air temperature, as well as the way coffee beans are harvested and the production process will affect the quality of coffee itself.

In short: Qianjie is a coffee research hall, happy to share the knowledge about coffee with you, we share unreservedly just to make more friends fall in love with coffee, and there will be three low-discount coffee activities every month. The reason is that Qianjie wants to make more friends drink the best coffee at the lowest price, which has been Qianjie's tenet for 6 years!
