Estimated Duration: 1460 days

Coffee plants (Coffea arabica or Coffea robusta) require a warm climate, well-drained soil, and proper care to grow. After planting, the plant takes about 3-4 years to mature and produce cherries containing coffee beans. Optimal growing conditions, including adequate sunlight, water, and nutrients, are crucial for healthy growth. Once mature, the plant will flower and produce cherries, which are hand-picked when ripe. The beans are then processed, dried, and roasted before use. Regular pruning and pest control help maintain productivity, with peak yields occurring around 5-7 years of age.
