Arabica Coffee PLANT (Coffea arabica) – Untreated & Heirloom Grow Your Own Morning Brew!Experience the ultimate satisfaction of cultivating your own coffee! This beautiful, evergreen heirloom plant can be grown as a small tree or a manageable container plant. It thrives outdoors in tropical and subtropical gardens and makes a stunning, productive houseplant in cooler climates.Best of all, it is self-pollinating, so you can expect a harvest of aromatic “coffee cherries” even with a single indoor plant. From the glossy leaves to the red berries and the prized seeds inside, every part of the plant is useful for making tea, tinctures, cosmetics, and of course, your very own home-roasted coffee.A Plant Full of Benefits: While the beans are famous, the leaves are a hidden gem. Research published in the Annals of Botany shows that Arabica coffee leaves contain even higher levels of antioxidants than coffee or tea, which are beneficial for combating oxidative stress linked to heart disease and diabetes.Product Details:Price is for one (1) young, established coffee plant supplied in a small nursery pot, naturally grown with lots of love in my permaculture food forest in Pacific Haven QLD Australia.
