Imagine the delicious aroma of freshly-roasted coffee beans, made even more magical because you grew them yourself! Whilst the first beans were discovered on the Ethiopian Plateau, once their simulant qualities were identified, the beans move to the Arabian Peninsula and then eventually to Indonesia, Sumatra, and now, Australia. Coffee prefers moist well-drained, slightly-acidic soils and does well in subtropical areas (climates with a pronounced Wet and Dry season). In cooler climates, protect from frost and position near a warm north-facing wall or try growing indoors.
