How much coffee can be produced by each coffee tree? how long does it take to plant coffee?

The first flowering period of the coffee tree is about three years. The five-petal tube-shaped white flowers are filled with a faint scent of jasmine, and the inflorescences are arranged in dense clusters. It will wither after two or three days of flowering and begin to bear fruit after a few months. The fruit is a drupe with a diameter of about 1.5cm, which is green at first, then turns yellow gradually, turns red when ripe, and is very similar to cherries, so it is called cherry coffee (Coffee Cherry), which can be harvested at this time.

Coffee fruit contains two seeds, namely coffee beans. The two beans are connected face to face with each other on one side of the plane. Each coffee bean has a thin outer film, which is called silver skin, and its outer layer is covered with a yellow outer skin, called endocarp. The whole coffee bean is wrapped in a sticky pulp to form the coffee pulp, which is soft and sweet, with the outer shell.

The Robastian coffee tree, which originated in the Congo in Africa, accounts for about 20% to 30% of the world's production. Luoba Jinta coffee tree is suitable for planting in the lowlands below 500 meters above sea level, has a strong adaptability to the outside world, can resist bad weather, resist diseases and insect pests, and is in soil preparation. Weeding and pruning do not require much manual care, and can be allowed to grow in the wild. It is a kind of coffee tree that is easy to cultivate. But its flavor is more bitter than Arabica, and its quality is much lower, so it is mostly used to make instant coffee. In general, the coffee sold in fast food restaurants is mainly made of coffee beans grown in Robasta. Because it is made in Africa, most Africans drink robastian coffee.

The Liberian coffee tree is native to Liberia in Africa, and its cultivation history is shorter than that of the other two coffee trees, so it is limited to a few places such as Liberia, Suriname and Gaiana, so it accounts for less than 5% of the world's output. The coffee tree of Liberia is suitable for planting in the lowlands, and the coffee beans produced are very fragrant and bitter. At present, the most important coffee beans in the world mainly come from Arabica, Robata and Liberia. these three varieties of coffee beans are the three original species of coffee trees, and the quality of the coffee beans produced by other coffee trees is also better than that produced by other coffee trees.

The Arabica coffee tree, which originated in Ethiopia, accounts for 70% of the world's output of coffee beans; the world-famous blue mountain caffeine, mocha coffee and so on are almost all Arabica species. Arabica coffee trees are suitable for growing in high mountains with large temperature difference between day and night, and ten soils with low humidity and good drainage; the ideal altitude is 500m ~ 2000, the higher the altitude, the better the quality. However, due to the weak ability to resist diseases and insect pests, it is more difficult to grow than the other two coffee trees.
