Basic knowledge of coffee introduction: coffee flower coffee blossoms
Coffee flowers can be enjoyed at the beginning of the second or third year of coffee planting. if there are no special circumstances, they will blossom and bear fruit naturally, so it is easy to think that the harvest of coffee trees will be 2-3 years later.
Coffee flowers are white, born in leaf axils, where leaves come into contact with branches, usually appear in clusters, each flower will have 5-6 petals, slender micro-roll, see the picture is very clear, and jasmine is very similar, not only the appearance is similar, even the aroma are similar, so the 17th century will have Arabian-jasmine (literal translation "Arabian jasmine") name.
Generally speaking, Rain Water ushered in the flowering period after the same coffee tree, the same branch, or even the same flower cluster. Therefore, it is very common to see coffee flowers, coffee, green fruit, coffee and red fruit coexisting at the same time. Although it can meet the desire to see different things at the same time, but the harvest for coffee farmers may not be lucky, in order to ensure a high-quality harvest. Only manual picking can pick fully ripe coffee fruit, and manual picking is bound to face high costs.
A coffee tree may bloom sooner or later, but in general, there will be a relatively concentrated florescence, and depending on the climate and other factors of each planting place, there may be two or three periods, followed by two or three harvest seasons. Although the florescence comes with Rain Water, it is not so wonderful to meet Rain Water in the right blooming season. Rain Water's entry into the flowers will affect the results.
Although the coffee flowers are beautiful and elegant, the good flowers are not often there. They fade after 2-3 days and are replaced by small green coffee fruits.
Many articles have mentioned what a wonderful experience it is to visit coffee farms during flowering period, and many producing areas are happy to use coffee blooming season for tourism. According to news reports, Hainan has built a coffee museum to show the coffee processing process, but one of the major contents is the instant coffee production line.
