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 in Zamboanga. A few weeks after the rain, the coffee trees will start to bear white flowers. They flower in stages up the stems of the 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, (up the tiny stem) this flowering process can last 3 months into the season. Since it takes approximately 3 months from flower to fruit, and almost another 3 months to ripen; You can be harvesting when the last flower just fell.

There are three types of coffee mostly grown in the Philippines.
- Arabica : Likes the high altitude and it self pollinates.
- Robusta : This variety needs cross pollination and prefers the low lands.
- 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.
