Coffee Curation:
To really step up your coffee game, try making a fancy, at-home latte! It’s fun, tasty and easier than you think. Simply, brew a strong pot of coffee with your coffee beans and add milk (or substitute), preferably mixing with a milk frother, sugar from your Sugar Cane Plant, to taste, and any desired flavorings like vanilla extract, maple syrup, honey, or chocolate syrup. Stir it all up, and sip away on your new favorite morning beverage or afternoon treat!
Pollination Info
Barista Kit Pollination
Barista Kits are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Barista Kit will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Grow your Arabica Coffee Plant in a pot indoors or out. The Cold Hardy Tea Plant makes an excellent hedge or can be potted as long as it is in a full to partial sun location. Sugar Cane Plants grow best in hot, humid and sunny climates. Plant in the ground or a pot 2-3 times larger than its current size, and bring indoors in the cooler months.
2. Watering: You can water your Arabica Coffee Plant and Cold-Hardy Tea Plant 1-2 times weekly, but the Sugar Cane may need more frequent watering as it likes its soil moist at all times.
3. Fertilizing: All three plants will benefit from frequent fertilization with a low-concentration fertilizer.
4. Pruning: Prune any low-growing branches or leaves near the base of the Arabica Coffee Plant. Prune the Cold Hardy Tea Plant if it grows over 5 feet tall in a hedge. Potted Tea Plants should be pruned yearly after the blooming season. Prune the Sugar Cane Plant if it grows too tall or the shoots start growing backwards.
