Flowers on a twig of Arabica Coffee. In February and March it is a magical experience when the plantation is flowering with millions of white small blossoms that have a sweet fragrant smell. By April the flowers start to wilt and made way for the green coffee berries. Each flower becomes a green cherry that in a few months will turn deep red. It takes about 9 months the fruit to ripen.
The plant of Coffea arabica (commonly known simply as 'Arabica') ranks as one of the world's most valuable and widely traded commodity crops and is an important export product of countries in Central and South America, the Caribbean and Africa.
