How is Coffee Grown?
Coffee cultivation is a process that requires great care and patience. Coffee plants thrive in tropical climate regions, particularly in areas with moderate temperatures and abundant rainfall. Coffee seeds are planted in rich, fertile soil. Initially, the seeds are kept in the shade for several weeks until they sprout into seedlings. Once the seedlings have grown sufficiently, usually after 1-2 years, they are transplanted to open fields. Coffee plants typically begin to produce their first fruits within 3-4 years. When ripe, the coffee cherries turn a deep red color and are harvested. Harvesting is usually done by hand, as the cherries may not ripen evenly. After harvesting, the coffee cherries are processed to extract the beans. The beans are then dried, roasted, and ground before being packaged and shipped to coffee lovers around the world.
