Hi everyone, today I feel so excited because I have the opportunity to share something special with all of you, in my hands there are several photos of flowers and coffee berries that are so stunning, every picture that I have captured brings me closer to the extraordinary beauty of nature, Coffee flowers have a clean white color and a distinctive sweet aroma and have always been a symbol of hope and new beginnings in the life cycle of coffee.
Meanwhile the coffee fruit with its shiny natural color is the result of the hard work of nature and humans combined, seeing it on the fruit stalk reminds me how valuable every coffee bean is that we always enjoy in a warm cup of coffee, every flower that blooms and every ripe fruit each of them tells a story about time, perseverance and patience.
Well, first of all, I will introduce the coffee flower to all of you, the coffee flower is a very important initial part in the life cycle of the coffee plant, without this flower we would never be able to enjoy delicious coffee in every brew, as you can see the coffee flower has a simple but very attractive appearance, small in shape, pure white in color and accompanied by a soft sweet aroma, this aroma is often reminiscent of jasmine although with a different distinctive touch, coffee flowers grow in groups along the branches of the coffee plant.
The beauty of coffee flowers lies not only in their appearance but also in their important role in the ecosystem. Insects such as bees and butterflies often come to pollinate coffee flowers. They help the fertilization process which will produce coffee berries. This process also illustrates how nature can work in a way. harmonious to produce something so valuable.
Coffee flowers only bloom for a relatively short period of time, maybe only a few days and the flower petals will fall one by one, therefore when the coffee flowers bloom is a very special moment for coffee farmers, the blooming of the flowers is also an important marker for they are used to estimate future harvest times, on the other hand, coffee flowers also have a philosophical meaning, they symbolize the beginning of life, hope and potential, from these small flowers, grains are born that make many people happy.
And now I will take you to get to know the coffee fruit more closely, the coffee fruit or what you more often hear "Arabica coffee" is one of the natural wonders that is not only beautiful but also very important for our lives, this fruit is the place where the beans The coffee we enjoy every day is very well formed and protected.
Visually the coffee fruit has a small round shape with a size of 6 millimeters, the color of the coffee fruit varies depending on the level of maturity, at first the coffee fruit has a bright green color then changes to yellow, red to blackish red, in this coffee fruit there are two seeds covered with thin skin or what is more often referred to as parchment and mucilage.
The process of processing coffee beans starts from this fruit, where the layers (rough & thin skin) will be removed to get raw coffee beans and then the drying process will be carried out, but don't be mistaken, there are also coffee berries that only have one bean. It's also known as peaberry and is considered special because of the unique taste it has and even the purchase price is a little more expensive than two-bean coffee. The coffee fruit not only holds the secret to the pleasure of each brew, but the coffee fruit also holds other benefits, skin and flesh of fruit It is often used as organic fertilizer, but there are also several countries that process it into cascara drinks (I have never drunk it) which is believed to contain high antioxidants.
through this post I would like to invite you all to take a moment to reflect on the beauty and meaning of the long journey of coffee flowers and berries, from the simple flowering process to the ripe coffee berries with amazing colors, you need to know that each stage has a story and an important, irreplaceable role. , this process not only depicts natural cycles but also holds the values of patience, hard work and beauty in small details that may often be overlooked.
Coffee flowers through their sweet aroma teach lessons about hope and new beginnings, while coffee berries teach us all about the results and long processes involving human hard work and ecosystem balance.
