Now this coffee plant is cultivated in Pacific Island like Java Sumatra to India Arabia Africa Hawaii Mexico and more. This shrub has glossy green leaves - gets to 4.3 to 6.1 meters high - when fully grown - but generally pruned to 3.7 meters - The white flowers of this shrub are self pollinating.

There is another coffee species called Coffea Robusta. Coffea Robusta is a more common bean and the quality is not as great as the Coffea Arabica - This lesser quality bean grows at lower altitudes and has smaller beans than that of the Coffea Arabica.

Actually the fruit from these plants are known as - a berry. As they begin growing the plant is blossoming - ripening the berries from green to yellow to red. On average - a plant produces 0.7 kilos of Fresh Roasted Coffee. Before a coffee plant can bear a full crop - it is usually 6 to 8 years old. To Read More....
