A quick cuppa?
Like a lot of urban folk, I like to drink coffee. Organic coffee has a
lot of positive health benefits - full of anti-oxidants, great for
focus, prevents liver cancer and many other good health benefits in
moderation. But finding out more about the story of global coffee made
me rethink about this 'addiction': where I get coffee from; how it is
produced; by whom and the carbon footprint involved. So I decided to
grow it at home in Sydney. The 4 coffee trees have provided a new screen
between our house and the neighbours' and this season's crop has
provided 4 kilos of coffee and a lot of discussion and problem-solving
with groups I work with here in my urban food forest. The final product
is delicious but serving size and quantity has reduced as we reflect
upon the work and time involved to harvest and process the beautiful
cherries. We enjoy it slowly and I have great pleasure in sharing it.
