Once seeds germinate, plants are transferred to a nursery where the plants will grow for 10 to 12 months. At each stage of puberty the plants will be monitored and properly maintained with proper nutrients, so the plant can achieve the optimal size of the root and a vegetative system, which will allow the plant at the right time to become resistant to conditions on the plantation. In this process, it is necessary to care for it a lot, giving the plant a suitable temperature, controlling shade, sunlight and thus eliminate the stress to which it is exposed coffee a through improper conditions for growth.

Soil management includes everything from nutrition and weed management to preventing diseases and fungi. It’s important to prepare the soil before planting the seedling and to maintain it well during the first growing phase, as this will continue to impact the tree throughout it’s life cycle.

Harvesting coffee cherries there are two factors every farmer must consider when deciding how to harvest their coffee. First, will the cherries be picked by hand or by machine? Second, will they be strip-picked or selectively harvested? Most coffee in the world is harvested by hand. Hand-picking is labor-intensive, but it’s the only practical option in much of the world.

The sucrose in the cherry flavors the coffee in the cup — and it depends on factors like altitude and shade cover. Coffee plants needs sunlight to develop, of course. But they thrive when they grow in partially shady conditions. Shade-grown coffee will have about 3% more sugar than coffee that is grown in full sun.

Green coffee cherries are not ripe, but as time passes the green cherries turn to the beautiful colors of red, yellow, pink, and orange. Because each piece of fruit ripens at its own pace, workers must inspect branches and pluck only those cherries that are deep red, to obtain the best quality coffee..

Obviously to produce the best coffee possible you want to pick the coffee while its red. Sounds easy enough right? If coffee all ripened at the same time it probably would be. Rarely though does that actually happen. Coffee tends to ripen in waves over a period of 2 or more months.

There are hundreds of chemical reactions that take places within the 10 or 15 minutes it takes to roast a batch of coffee, and controlling these can be quite difficult. Small changes in temperature, humidity, airflow, and time can make dramatic changes to the final cup, so roasters have to be very precise with their roasting routine and environment.

Is Coffee A fruit? In its ground down powder form it doesn’t look like a fruit but coffee is a fruit because it starts its life as a coffee cherry on a coffee shrub. Coffee cherries are grown and harvested for the seeds inside, that get turned into coffee beans but the berry itself is edible. However, there is just no point in eating them nutritionally, when you bite into a coffee cherry, you’ll realize that it’s mostly skin and seeds, not enough fruit flesh to enjoy.

What the crack... Sound is a great indicator for the roasting temperature. There are two points within the roasting process where what you hear becomes very important. These audible moments are called “cracks”. The first crack of the coffee bean comes at about 385°F in the roasting process. Hearing this first crack lets a roaster know that the coffee has reached beginning stages of a light roast. You can continue to roast after first crack all the way to a medium roast at about 426°F. Second Crack Dark roast begins around 435°F -440°F with a second crack. The sound of the second will be more faint

Coffea Arabica...In the spring the coffee plant produces fantastic white, sweet-scented flowers. The berries then appear, changing from green to yellow to red as they ripen.

Aroma is one of the primary coffee qualities denoting a coffee’s flavor. The best smelling coffee is the one that’s fresh roasted, if you want the smell you will want to buy coffee directly from a roaster.

Hand crafted coffee from the point of Origin! Small coffee farmers are finding that the only way to make a decent wage is to grow coffee in the manner that wine producers grow their exquisite grapes. Farmers are doing less mass production, and focusing instead on growing and tending to their coffee plants with more attention and skill.
