The Lifespan of Coffee Trees: How Long Can They Live? What is Latte Coffee? Coffee Cold Knowledge

What is Trivia?

The writer decided to first copy and paste Baidu's explanation:

Trivia refers to those obscure, trivial, and complex knowledge and facts.

Trivia can help people gain knowledge, broaden their horizons, inspire thinking, and spark strong curiosity.

Baidu has obviously explained it very thoroughly, but the writer believes that things not often talked about are considered "cold" trivia~

There are thousands of coffee trivia facts, and I bet you don't know this one.

FrontStreet Coffee's "Coffee Estate"!

The writer mentions that you might not know that FrontStreet Coffee, located in Dongshankou, Guangzhou,

has its own coffee estate in Baoshan, Yunnan!

Yunnan's Coffee Heritage

Yunnan is the first place in China where coffee trees were planted.

In Zhukula Village, Yunnan, there are 24 first-generation coffee trees planted there.

These old trees were all planted in 1892.

Although they have survived to this day,

they no longer have any economic value~~

The economic lifespan of a coffee tree is about 30 years.

However, there's no doubt that these 24 old trees are China's first-generation ancient coffee trees!

Knowledge Sharing & Reading

Yunnan has a quite long history of coffee cultivation. As early as 1892, a French missionary brought coffee seeds to Yunnan and successfully planted the first coffee tree in a place called Zhukula~ One of the old coffee varieties that people in Baoshan, Yunnan talk about is Typica. The Typica variety is actually an ancient original coffee variety from Ethiopia!

How Long Can Coffee Trees Live?

Coffee takes about 5 years from seed to flowering and fruiting, and a coffee tree can produce about 3-5 kilograms of coffee fruits annually.

Coffee beans can grow for over two hundred years from germination, making them quite long-lived plants~

If they bear many fruits each year, the coffee tree's lifespan is only about ten years, requiring new trees to be planted after a certain period;

If they don't bear abundant fruit, the coffee tree's lifespan can last for several decades.

Coffee Can Be Used to "Refresh the Nose"!

You must have noticed that coffee beans are often placed next to perfume counters.

Smelling many different perfumes continuously at perfume counters can numb your sense of smell.

As the saying goes: "When you enter a room full of orchids, you stop noticing their fragrance after a while."

Without training, a person's sense of smell can only distinguish three or fewer scents at once.

Coffee contains no chemical compounds and emits a fresh aroma, so it's often used to refresh the nose.

So next time you go perfume shopping, don't be surprised when you see coffee beans!

Coffee Can Boost Brain Power!

Some studies suggest that merely smelling coffee can enhance human brain power.

Researchers created 10 algebra problems for 100 university students to solve.

One group completed the test in a sealed room filled with coffee aroma, while other groups completed it in classrooms without any scent.

Unsurprisingly, students who smelled coffee scored much higher.

Several similar studies were conducted later, with the same results.

This experiment proved that coffee aroma can enhance brain power, increase students' motivation to perform, and lead to "smarter" performance.

Coffee Beans: Before and After Roasting

Coffee beans can emit 200 types of aromas before roasting, but after roasting, they can emit 800 types of aromas.

Red wine contains about 200 flavor elements, while coffee's aromatic compounds can number over 1,500!

Everything Can Be "Latte"!

The name for latte coffee is Caffè Latte.

In Italian, "Latte" means "milk," so latte coffee means espresso + milk.

Therefore,

Pumpkin latte is pumpkin + milk;

Black sesame latte is black sesame + milk;

Matcha latte is matcha + milk

(laughs)
