Coffee naturally: growing, harvesting and roasting coffee in Townsville, North Queensland

[anneah1]

having trouble entering this text sorry - the tree was here when husband bout the house so it could be as old as 20 years or more.. (read on)

[anneah1]

as 20 yrs, but sadly last year, just prior to cyclone yasi, which may have been fatal anyway, it died, probably as the result of heavy rainfall over the previous monsoon months. IT WAS REALLY wet here over Dec to Feb. We were devastated. But we have several seedlings which are healthy and thriving, under the mango canopy, and we estimate three years, though a friend planted from seedlings of ours some yeaars back and her trees are bearing.

How long did it take for the coffee tree to grow from seedling to producing coffee beans? Thanks!

[anneah1]

ours have lasted from when we harvested and they were sundreid and shucked - that is, we put the green beans in a big jar. We used the last crop from that time until about now. And the new crop is just coming on. So from year to year.

How long do the beans last once processed but not roasted? Sorry if this was covered but my sound is messed up.

great vid, I would love to grow some coffee beans but probably a bit hard down here in Victoria. Ive just started roasting my own beans. It would be great to go through the whole process from start to finish.

Not a bad maiden effort! I would have to get Jack or Daniel to help me do such. Which format did you use? Mp4?DivX?Xvid? and resolution? 320x240? I could hear no audio Did you encode in Mp3? And at 30 frames per second? I'll forward a measured response later. Tom
