Serious question, did you know a single coffee tree only produces about one pound of roasted beans a year?

I read that in a library book about coffee farming and it made me appreciate my morning cup a lot more, so how do you think that impacts the price we pay for specialty beans?

One pound a year from a whole tree... that's actually crazy. No wonder the good stuff costs so much.

Some trees can produce a few pounds in a good year though.
