One of my bonsai, that I have kept in a bright window in my office is Coffea Arabica. Close to a year ago it bloomed, and they do
not require pollination so I got some nice fat beans. They take 9-10 months to ripen, but I have now harvested them and after
fermentation and drying they will be ready to roast. I don't know how it will taste, but I plan on making the world's smallest cup
of coffee in a week or two.
Interesting! Kinda anxious to know how they turn out!
You aren't going to let a Civet digest them first?
Woohoo!! Congrats.
I would suggest when you take that sip.......savor it......don't gulp it!:D
No cream and sugar, either.Quote:

Hah cool, I didn't know they'd produce inside like that.
A friend of mine in Maui had some growing in his back yard (can't remember if he intentionally planted them or not.. I think so..). Tried making coffee from the beans a few times, it was .. interesting.. tasting (although I can't remember what process he used so may have been suboptimal). Cool project though!
First, you need to wait that the beans turn in red color. After, you take the beans of the tree...

And after you need to dry the beans.

Joe, I was born in a small town that was a major producer of coffee. The family of a childhood friend had a large farm that produced coffee ... and I was always on the farm. Seeing the photos of google, I returned to the past and feel the smell of coffee being processed. However, times have changed, and today this farm produces sugar cane. I searched on google and found this information that are in English. Enjoy
