If you have got a coffee sapling, it is quite easy to grow coffee tree in a flat. But growing of these seedlings is connected with a number of difficulties. As I already knew, coffee beans should be planted straight away after harvesting. So I got two berries, peeled them from outer red skin, washed carefully and planted into the flowerpots. The care was up to the mark. But they have been staying for two, three and even five months, and I had not got any results. Then I digged out the ground and saw that they were off and away – beans were simply rotted.
By that time my friends had already ripe berries on the other coffee bush, and again I got a pair of them (at that, one of them had two grains, however it should be only one). Now I decided to deal with them in such a way as I have done with seeds of tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins. I put them on a humid filter (toilet) paper into the Petri dish. The seeds were absolutely fresh, but during the observation (about two months) I have not noticed any changes, like swelling, point of sprouting, etc.

Coffee is a freak product. Especially it concerns its storing, which working time depends on the package. How coffee should be packed for better shelf life?
The main purpose of coffee package – do not let oxygen to the beans. Entering into chemical reaction with oxygen, fats, which are contained in coffee beans, are oxidized. That distinctly worsens the taste of the product. That is why the package quality of roasted coffee has a profound effect on the shelf life of this product.
In paper bags coffee keeps its quality about two weeks, in foil bags – till three months, and in tight packs coffee can be stored up to six months. Longest, coffee is stored in ordinary glass jar.

Unfortunately, the flavor of ground coffee becomes worse immediately after grinding. Or after you have opened the vacuum packaging.
Theoretically, coffee should be ground on your own just before cooking. If you take coffee beans at home, it begins to lose its quality after a week of storage. The experts advise buying at a time no more than 200g of beans.
The beans should be of a regular shape, velvety to the touch and not too small.
The color may be different, but keep in mind – the higher is the roasting temperature, the darker is a bean.

The sort of coffee-tree Coffea arabica came from Ethiopia (Abyssinia), namely from the south-west part of Ethiopian Highlands, which is called Kafa. People used leaves and fruit of coffee-tree since ancient times, long before the Semite tribe on the Arabian Peninsula had known about this plant.
The discoverers of coffee weren’t the Arabs, but Ethiopians – the group of some nationalities (Amhara, Tigray-Tigrinya, Gurage…). The group has appeared in the first thousand B.C., when inhabitants from the Arabian Peninsula moved to present Ethiopia and mixed with Negroids – Cushitic and Nilotes.
Ethiopians pounded coffee-tree fruits, mix them with adipose and made from them dumplings as large as plums. Fats, which were mixed with nourishing coffee fruits and seeds protein, empowered people.
