Curious? That's name for the coffee treet in the 17th century. The coffe treee has dark shiny green leaves and fragrant flowers. Tis is a very unique, ornamental plant.The flowers of coffee are white with 5 or 6 petals and have a very delicate smell. The shape and scent resemble those of Jasmine and it is for this reason it called Arabian Jasmine.
The flowers form glomerules, or little tufts made up of 8 to 15 elements, at the base of the leaves.They produce the same number of berries, commonly known as cherries because of their colour.
The flowers last only a few hours and wilt as soon as fertilisation has taken place: however, others quickly replace them. As a result, it is not uncommon to find leaves, flowers and berries on the tree at the same time! One tree can produce over 30,000 flowers in a year.
If you go to fazenda in the very early morning, when the mist still hangging on leaves and the sun not yet comeout from its slumber..you will find the very original fragrant of the coffe flower. Because the coffe flower blossom in very early day....and the scented wind helping spread its fragrant all over the hill.
