The harvest period of coffee varies from region to region. Areas north of the equator (such as Ethiopia and Central America) generally harvest once in September to November. South of the equator, in areas such as Brazil and Zimbabwe, the main harvest occurs in April or May, although it can last until August. Equatorial countries, such as Uganda and Colombia, harvest year-round, especially plantations that exploit a variety of altitudes. As a result, coffee beans may be newly harvested most of the year.

Coffee fruits are harvested immediately when ripe, and because fruits of different maturity periods appear on the same tree, harvesting is not easy. Generally speaking, it takes 4 - 5 months from initial harvest to complete harvest. If ripe and immature fruits are harvested at the same time, the quality of coffee will be reduced. Therefore, good quality coffee is hand-picked one by one to maintain the perfect coffee taste.

In one year, a typical Arabica coffee tree harvests less than 5 kilograms of fruit, making about 1 kilogram of coffee beans.

Aromatic, rich, fruity, rich and perfect on the palate. Kenya coffee has a wonderful fruity flavor, with a blackberry and grapefruit flavor, and is a favorite of many coffee lovers. This coffee has an excellent medium purity, crisp and refreshing taste. Fresh flavor and best for iced coffee in summer. When tasting this coffee, if it is accompanied by fruit with acidity such as grapefruit, it will definitely give me the best coffee experience. "Less coffee, more fruit tea" is the common feeling many people have about this light roasted Kenyan coffee. In addition to the obvious and fascinating fruit acidity, Kenya coffee is mostly grown by small coffee farmers in a variety of different environments, with different climates and rainfall each year, bringing a variety of distinct and unique personalities. Take AAPlus grade "KenyaAA+Samburu" as an example. Samburu of 2001 has strong dark plum fragrance, low acidity and strong taste. Samburu newly harvested in winter of 2002 presents completely different flavors. Mulberry berry and green plum, accompanied by a little spicy flavor, have sweet fragrance of green tea after drinking.
