Comments on: How To Grow Your Own Coffee Been At Home http://www.talkaboutcoffee.com/grow_your_own.html Talk About Coffee is a must visit site for all coffee lovers :)) Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:59:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jim Botkin http://www.talkaboutcoffee.com/grow_your_own.html/comment-page-1#comment-18607 Jim Botkin Sat, 20 Aug 2011 10:14:33 +0000 http://www.talkaboutcoffee.com/grow_your_own.html#comment-18607 I recently went to Honduras, and the farm that I was staying at , grows coffee. I learned a good bit but not enough I am sure. Here is what the growers told me. When picking the bean be careful not to damage the small stem. The next bean will grow from that and if you damage it no more beans from there. The bushes on their farm were about 4 feet tall and produced 8 pounds of raw bean a year. The bush or tree was about 4 feet tall. They say after a while when it no longer produces like it should you need to chop it off and it will regrow a new bush and produce again as normal. Picking was from early January (I think) and once the picking season started, every 15 days til season ends. I recently went to Honduras, and the farm that I was staying at , grows coffee.

So after reading the articles on this site and many others, I decided to order some seeds. They are already on their way! I got Kona!!! But here's where I'm lost, right now, me and my wife drink Christopher Bean's Jamaica Me Crazy. It has Kahlua, chocolate, and nuts in it. If I'm growing my own, how do I mix the flavors into the grind? Ok. So after reading the articles on this site and many others, I decided to order some seeds. They are already on their way!
