Coffee beans grown locally in Japan are sold in advance! The price... At least not by one!

What?! When did Japan become a coffee producing area? On this matter, we will recall that last month, Yamako Farm in Okayama City, Japan announced that the coffee tree they planted was not only alive! It has also blossomed and borne fruit, and the coffee fruit is in the ripening stage, and the head of the farm says the coffee fruit will be harvested in February and will be sold to the outside world.

Maybe for us, the coffee tree is just a fruit, it's nothing strange. But for the Japanese, it was a historic breakthrough because it was the first time they had successfully planted a live coffee tree in Japan and had a harvest. Because the natural environment of the Japanese island will be very cold in winter, which is not conducive to the growth and survival of coffee trees, so for so many years, although the Japanese have a set of studies on coffee cultivation, however, they have not successfully planted coffee beans in their own territory, and their planting research needs more help from the land of other countries, such as China and Taiwan.

-Coffee fruits grown in Japan, but this time the cost of growing coffee fruits in Japan is also very high, because these coffee fruits grow in the greenhouse. The head of Yamanzi Farm has been doing research on growing tropical crops in Japan, such as pineapples and mangoes. None of these crops are suitable for growing in cold areas, so the head of the farm found Okayama, a city with a warm climate in southern Japan, where sunshine is longer and winter temperatures are higher than in other areas. Before planting coffee trees, the farm had successfully planted tropical crops at home. With the lesson of the past, there is once again the cultivation of local coffee in Japan. After so many years of "twists and turns" in coffee cultivation research, I really have to admire their spirit of not giving up, and it is gratifying to see the success of coffee cultivation, apart from other things.

As soon as the news came out about the head of the farm and the local coffee trees in Japan, the friends were very concerned about the price of this batch of coffee beans in Japan. After all, greenhouse + was rare, and the price was what everyone was concerned about. Until today, the official website of Shanzi Farm officially pre-sold these "hard-won" coffee beans! The price. (including tax) 2750 yen / 100g raw beans (about RMB150/100g), that is, RMB1500/kg.

Of course, pre-sale, but it seems that due to too little production, the brush will be gone, domestic partners estimate that there is no opportunity to spend wallets in recent years.

Is it expensive? The price will actually be less than everyone expected, because the expectation of many partners is: sell by the individual! Photo Source: Yamako Farm official website
