From the very first day it’s planted on the coffee plantation, this coffee tree is carefully tended to, watched over, and nurtured until its harvest. Nothing is more important to the taste of the end result coffee than the grow region and the care and maintenance that goes into the plant and harvest.
Sweet Maria’s has documented in pictures the growth stages of a coffee tree (Arabica) and has also included some interesting harvest pictures at the bottom of the page. You can view these pictures here: http://www.sweetmarias.com/growingcoffee/Growing_Coffee_at_Home.html
