Coffee bean trees: the birth of natural beauty and aroma

Coffee bean tree growing environment

The coffee bean tree is a tropical plant that is mainly distributed in areas near the equator. It prefers a warm and humid climate and usually grows in mountainous areas between 800 meters and 2,000 meters above sea level. Such a high altitude environment provides suitable temperature and humidity conditions, which are conducive to the healthy growth of coffee bean trees.

In addition, coffee bean trees also have certain requirements for soil. They prefer soil that is rich in organic matter, well-drained, and highly acidic (pH 6-6.5). Such soil can provide sufficient nutrients and water, and maintain appropriate pH so that coffee beans can absorb the nutrients they need.

Natural beauty and coffee aroma

When grown in ideal conditions, coffee trees display a breathtaking natural beauty. They often have dense, lush green leaves that sparkle with stunning colors in the sun. Coffee trees also have beautiful flowers, blooming with pure white and fragrant aromas.

These natural beauties are not only intoxicating, but also closely related to the aroma produced by the coffee bean trees. When the coffee bean trees bloom, the air is filled with a light floral scent, giving people a pleasant and comfortable feeling. This special aroma will also transform into a rich, complex and tempting coffee aroma as the fruits mature.

Coffee bean growth process

From seeds to mature fruits, coffee beans go through a long and complicated growth process. The first is the sowing stage, where coffee bean seeds are buried in the soil under suitable temperature and humidity conditions and wait for germination.

Once germinated, the seedling begins to grow upwards and over a few years develops into a dense, regularly branched plant, during which time regular pruning and maintenance are required to ensure health and yield.

When plants reach a certain age, they begin to flower. The flowering period of coffee bean trees usually lasts for several weeks, during which time they need to attract insects such as bees for pollination. After pollination, the flowers gradually wither and form fruits.

The fruit takes some time to grow, during which time they gradually change color from green to red or other colors. When the fruit is fully ripe, the coffee bean tree will drop it and wait for manual picking.

Manual picking and processing

Picking coffee beans is a time-consuming and laborious process. Due to differences in different regions and varieties, some places use manual picking methods, while others use mechanized equipment for quick harvesting.

Whether picked by hand or mechanized, coffee beans need to be processed after harvest to remove the pulp and outer skin. This process usually includes fermentation, washing, drying and grading.

The clean coffee beans obtained are called "green beans" and can be used to make various coffee products. Different processing methods and roasting degrees will give coffee beans different flavor characteristics, thus satisfying the taste preferences of different people for coffee.

Conclusion

Coffee bean trees attract countless people with their natural beauty and fragrant birth process. They grow in high-altitude mountainous areas and show charming appearance and fragrant aroma under suitable temperature, humidity and soil conditions.

Through a long and complex growth process, from seeds to ripe fruits, coffee beans go through multiple stages and are eventually picked, processed and made into a variety of delicious coffee products.

Therefore, behind every cup of high-quality and intoxicating coffee there is a source of endless wisdom and inspiration that is produced through hard work, careful care, and the infusion of the beauty and aroma of nature - that is the coffee bean tree that thrives on the earth with lush, full and upright branches and leaves, white flowers, and plump and mature fruits.
