Coffee Arabica (Coffee) Tree

The coffee plant is from tropical Africa, brought to Hawaii by Don Marin in 1813. The plant is important commercially for its red berries which are fermented, dried, shelled, aged, roasted, ground, and used for brewing the popular drink. Most coffee drinkers are unfamiliar with the fact that it is an easily-grown and beautiful houseplant.

These are grown from seed and took an excruciating 7 months to sprout!
