Reminder that when you drink coffee, you're beans were touched by the hands of a Brazilian. Make sure that you thank a Brazilian flag.
>>221359419Why south USA don´t produce?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krPWI1hl2p4
>>221359419My coffee is from Yemen
>>221359523I'm guessing the climate isn't good.>>221359537That's illegal, we have sanctions on them. Your coffee is most likely from Brazil or Colombia, and it uses Yemeni as a marketing brand.
>>221359582It's strange because the regions that produce the best coffee in Brazil are those with higher altitudes and cooler climates. The same regions where blueberries, raspberries, olives, and grapes are grown...
>>221359615Maybe it's an economics thing. Something to do with equipment or labor. I can't really be sure.
>>221359419>beans were touched by the hands of a BrazilianThat's why I use boiling hot water to make my coffee
>>221359419>Old World crop >Finds its true potential in the New World Brings a tear to my eye, the story of this smol little bean
>>221359641Yes, it is possible to grow coffee in the southern United States, but not throughout the entire “South” and generally not as an easy commercial crop.Coffee is a tropical/subtropical plant and cannot tolerate frost. UF/IFAS states that coffee grows best in zones 10B through 11, can be grown in the southernmost parts of Florida, and that commercial cultivation in Florida is still considered experimental. It also notes that ideal conditions are around 59–75°F (15–24°C), high humidity, protection from wind, and no freezing.Soon in Florida.
>>221359709It gets extra funnier once you realize that Chocolate is from South America, but West Africa is the largest exporter of the crop.
>>221359419I live near a bunch of coffee plantations. Sometimes on the back roads you can just pick coffee cherries off the plants and eat the sweet part around the bean
>>221359615coffee trees grow in cooler tropical highlands i.e. they need moist, stable moderate temperatures and must avoid freezing. I remember brazil had a crop failure a few years ago because of frost and coffe prices grew
>>221359736But cacao pods are butt ugly and not smol and cute, they're BBC (Big Black Cacao)
>>221359523>>221359582From what I understand the temperature needs to be relatively stable for coffee.The South does have its points where it’s extremely hot, and points where it gets colder. Also most of the South (aside from the bottom of the Appalachian mountains) is low altitude, basically sea level.It’s really only grown in Hawaii and Puerto Rico here.
>>221359861How about the carolinas
>>221359419Im drinking coffee right now.>>221359523Thank you!!
>>221359962you have to sleep m8
>>221359935They will get too cold in the winter months. You can put them in a very controlled greenhouse, but it’s not cost effective at all to do. There does appear to be a place in North Caroline that does it like that.But its more for the novelty of it. it’s $120 for a small 8oz (226g) bag, compared to all their other coffee which is $10-$20 for a 12oz bag.
>he drinks goy mudwaterwhy?
>>221359736It gets even funnier when realize our amazon indigenous actually were the ones that domesticated cacao as they did cupuaçu (which you can also make "chocolate" of) but mexicans got all the fame for it
>>221359419I don't drink coffee. Isn't it made from literal poo?
>>221360058No
>>221360611No
>>221360611Yes
I drink Arabica that means mine is from Arabia
Imagine that mudwater drinkers need to buy thousands of dollars worth of lab equipment just to make their ash soup taste anything that isn't the same as eating cemetery dirt? Meanwhile tea wise ones just have to boil up water.
>>221361013All you need is a paper filter and hot water.
