🌿 Cultivation & Care Information

• Botanical Name: Coffea arabica var. Ismaili

• Common Name / Synonym: Ismaili Yemen Coffee / Mocha Heirloom Coffee / Terrace Coffee

• Plant Type: Tropical and subtropical evergreen multi-stemmed dwarf shrub / perennial commercial crop

• Sun Requirements: Partial shade to filtered bright sunlight (Prefers dappled shade or morning sun with protection from intense, scorching midday rays to support lush foliage development and healthy cherry maturation).

• Soil / Medium: Thrives in a rich, loose, stony or volcanic, highly well-draining loamy soil mix amended with organic matter and a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 6.5). Excellent drainage is vital.

• Watering: Keep the soil moderately moist during the active growing and fruiting season. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings, mimicking native terraced mountain conditions with deep, infrequent watering cycles.

• Growth Habit: A compact, bushy evergreen shrub featuring smaller dark leaves, short internodes, fragrant clusters of white star-shaped blossoms, and dense clusters of small, round coffee cherries.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm tropical and subtropical highland environments (Ideal temperature range: 18°C to 28°C / 64°F to 82°F). Protect from harsh frost and freezing temperatures.

🌱 Pro Growing Tip: To accelerate and maximize germination success with your Ismaili Coffee seeds, de-husk the parchment gently if needed, soak the seeds in clean warm water for 24 to 48 hours prior to planting, and sow them flat-side down in a warm, loose, sterile, highly organic seed-starting medium under 50% shade!
