The 65-year-old Feng Shaoming's face is covered with traces of years and hard work due to the constant exposure to the wind and the sun and the maintenance of the coffee garden. "This year's harvest is relatively small, and the output of green coffee beans is only about 4 tons." Feng Shaoming introduced the situation of coffee beans in 2021 to reporters. Because of the dry weather and less rain, the general situation is from the end of October to the end of November each year. The harvesting period is more than half a month ahead of schedule.
