Coffee trees can only grow in the tropics and subtropics. Coffee trees can grow in different climates, soils, elevations and rainfall in the middle of the "coffee belt". Coffee trees thrive in the hot and humid canyons and forest rainforests of Africa; it still produces high-quality coffee beans in cold, foggy, windy Central America; and in the Caribbean, where the climate is changeable, drought and torrential rain, it still blossoms and bears fruit. These factors are the secret that coffee beans have different flavors and a wide variety.

One of the characteristics of a coffee tree is that its fruit can bear fruit several times a year, and another is that flowers and fruits (also known as cherries) coexist at different stages of ripening. The whole coffee harvest is swayed by the vagaries of nature. If the fruit is too ripe, the beans in it will rot. If it is not ripe enough, the beans picked will not ripen by themselves. So bean pickers often go back to the same tree several times to find ripe fruit-- trying to get only 2 pounds back and forth, and a typical Arabica coffee tree produces less than 5 kilograms / 11 pounds of fruit in a year. can be made into about 1 kg / 2.2 pounds of coffee beans

Coffee trees usually 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. It turns green at first, then turns yellow gradually, and turns red when ripe. It is very similar to cherries, so it is called cherry coffee (Coffee Cherry). It can be harvested at this time.

Coffee tree opposite leaves are long oval, smooth leaves, the end of the branch is very long, few branches, and the flowers are white, open at the base of the petiole connecting the branch. Coffee trees can blossom for several years. Coffee trees bloom continuously from February to May. Bear fruit after anthesis. The fruit is green. No artificial pollination is needed.

Every March, the branches of the coffee tree will appear white flowers, the petals are spirally arranged, and the heart jumps around the petals. If you take a closer look, you can see that it is really like a small windmill playing in childhood, emitting the fragrance of jasmine flowers; the fruit is oval, berries, crimson, and contains two seeds, that is, the coffee beans we are familiar with.
