forest view coffee says... Your trees will stay green for quite awhile, do not despair. It will happen. Just make sure you keep the water up to the tree. A large inground tree will need up to 20 litres a day . Also is it in the shade, my trees are all shaded in a forest and do better than those exposed. When they turn wait until very cherry red and pick only those, process within 24 hrs or they will be rotten. Do you use the wet or dry method of processing?

forest view coffee says... Hello, the dry method is when you leave the beans on the tree to ferment there and then hull. The "wet" method is to harvest the ripe red cherry, immerse in water for 24 hrs then remove the pulp, red cherry, then place beans in warm water with teaspoon of sugar and keep warm. After 36 + hrs, grab a handful of the beans and if when you roll them in your hand they feel like gravel then they are ready to be washed ,warning , it will feel very slimy,,and then dried, then hulled to remove the parchment and then you are ready to roast. It is not easy to make coffee. Regards enjoy the journey .Ian | About the Author forest view coffee Forest View 28th April 2014 11:26am #UserID: 7363 Posts: 3 View All forest view coffee's Edible Fruit Trees |
