Although the coffee plant and tree are beautiful to look at, especially when it is blossoming, unless you have an absolute fortune to spend on the production process, the chances of you reaping the rewards of having a coffee tree in your back garden are slim to none. Sorry!

You see, actually drinking your ‘coffee harvest’ and growing the tree are two entirely different things. It could actually be said that the growing, harvesting and production of the coffee beans is really a science.

I would think that the major coffee growers around the world would concur, because it involves many processes, from actually keeping the plant and tree in the right humidity and temperature to collecting and processing the beans, and then washing them before the roasting process starts.
