Arabica Coffee SEEDS (Coffea arabica) – Untreated & Heirloom
Start Your Coffee Journey from Scratch!
Embark on the rewarding adventure of growing your own coffee from seed! This packet contains untreated, heirloom Arabica coffee seeds, offering you the most fulfilling way to cultivate your own coffee plant. Watch as your future morning brew sprouts and grows into a beautiful, evergreen tree.
This plant thrives outdoors in tropical and subtropical gardens and makes a stunning, productive houseplant in cooler climates. It is self-pollinating, so you can expect a harvest of aromatic “coffee cherries” even with a single indoor plant. From the glossy leaves to the red berries, every part is useful for teas, tinctures, and of course, home-roasted coffee.
A Plant Full of Benefits:
Research published in the Annals of Botany shows that Arabica coffee leaves contain even higher levels of antioxidants than coffee or tea, which are beneficial for combating oxidative stress.

Price is for one packet of six fresh Arabica coffee seeds.
Naturally harvested from our plants in Pacific Haven, QLD.

Sowing & Germination Tips
Freshness is Key: Coffee seeds lose viability quickly. For the best results, sow them as soon as possible after receiving them.
Preparation: Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing. Discard any that float.
Sowing: Sow seeds about 1-2 cm deep in a moist, well-draining seed-raising mix. A warm, consistently moist environment is crucial for germination.
Germination: Place the pot in a warm spot (20-25°C) with bright, indirect light. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination can be slow and irregular, taking from 4 weeks to several months.
After Germination: Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves, they can be carefully transplanted into individual pots.
Growing Onwards – Planting Tips
Position: Prefers bright, indirect light and rich, moist, well-draining soil. It will not tolerate waterlogged conditions.
Climate: This plant is frost-sensitive. Provide protection from cold winds and frost. It adapts very well to life in a large pot indoors.
Patience is a Virtue: Growing from seed is a test of patience. It can take 3-5 years for a seedling to mature and produce its first flowers and fruit.
Additional Notes
A Rewarding Journey: While it takes time, growing a coffee plant from seed is an incredibly fulfilling and educational experience.
