🌿 Cultivation & Care Information

  • Botanical Name: Coffea arabica var. 'French Mission' (Bourbon Derivative)

  • Common Name / Synonym: Bourbon French Mission Coffee / East African Mission Selection / Rubiaceae Cash Crop

  • Plant Type: Tropical and subtropical evergreen tree / perennial cash crop

  • Sun Requirements: Partial shade to filtered morning sun (Prefers dappled sunlight or canopy shade during early growth stages, mimicking its native high-altitude forest habitat to protect delicate seedlings and encourage optimal development).

  • Soil / Medium: Thrives in a rich, deep, loamy, highly well-draining volcanic soil mix amended with organic compost and rich organic matter to maintain moisture while preventing waterlogged roots.

  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy during the active growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, reducing frequency during cooler or drier months.

  • Growth Habit: An elegant, slender evergreen tree featuring broad glossy leaves, fragrant white blossoms, and lush clusters of ripening specialty coffee cherries.

  • Temperature: Thrives in warm tropical, subtropical, and high-altitude highland climates (Ideal temperature range: 18°C to 24°C / 64°F to 75°F). Protect from harsh frost, freezing conditions, and scorching direct heat.

🌱 Pro Growing Tip: To achieve maximum germination success and uniform seedling vigor with your Bourbon French Mission Coffee seeds, soak them in clean water for 24 to 48 hours prior to planting, and sow them in a warm, loose, well-draining nursery bed under 50% shade cloth!
