Coffee trees are best grown under the shade of bigger trees. The coffee trees love the filtered sunlight. It takes about 3 to 5 years for a coffee tree to bear flowers. The flowering season is usually after the rainy season. Before climate change, rain usually starts in May. A few weeks later the coffee trees will start to bear flowers. They flower in stages up the small branch. From bud to flower it takes less than 5 days and once it has bloomed and in splendor for a day or two, then the flowers begin to wilt and fall. Since the flowering of the coffee is in stages, this process can last 3 months into the season. Not all coffee beans from a tree mature at the same time.

A coffee plantation during its flowering stage creates a sweet smell that can travel for over 1 kilometer depending on the wind and terrain. The coffee flowers are white and small and shaped like a star. The scent of the flower is similar to that of sampaguita or jasmine. Very intoxicating.

There are three types of coffee mostly grown in the Philippines.

  1. Arabica : Likes the high altitude and it self pollinates.
  2. Robusta : This variety needs cross pollination and prefers the low lands.
  3. Liberica (sometimes called Beria or Exelsa): This variety grows into a big tree. The leaves are at least twice bigger than the robusta or arabica. It bears fruits all year long. It can grow to over 30 feet tall.
