Coffee is grown widely in South America and Africa and a warm conservatory is best for successful cultivation and they make a nice houseplant and a great talking point. The beans are picked red, dried and then roasted for use in the kitchen and Arabica beans are the best quality - much better than Robusta which is used to 'pad out' cheaper coffees and make a false 'crema' (the cream on top of an espresso). Each pod contains 2 coffee beans and the plants can reach several metres in height. These untreated coffee seeds can be sown all year and will be available during Feb. |
