② A coffee tree can live for 200 years
Coffee grows on trees, and some can live for 200 years. From a single seed to a mature coffee tree and its eventual death, it may take 200 years.
Xiao Zhao's warm reminder: In 1820, China was during the Qing Dynasty, with Emperors Jiaqing and Daoguang. This was also the time of the rise of the Industrial Revolution. Therefore, the coffee you’re drinking now may have been grown by coffee trees planted during the Qing Dynasty.
