Coffee Plant In A Coffee Cup

Coffea Arabica

Our Arabica coffee plant in a coffee cup is such a lovely idea, perfect as gift for your friends or those who love plants.

The coffee plant is comes in its very own coffee cup with coffee bean design which you could use after the plant has outgrown it.

Coffee is one of the worlds most valuable and widely traded commodities, usually found growing as shrubs or small trees in south Africa and tropical Asia.

The coffee plant produces highly scented white flowers followed by the fruit (coffee bean) which takes nine months to ripen.

Arabica coffee is also known as 'mountain coffee' and is thought to be the first species of coffee to be cultivated. It is thought to produce better coffee than other major commercial varieties.

Personally, we can't do without a good cup of coffee with friends at about 10 in the morning.

How your gift is doing good

At the Eden Project we believe plants are important to the future of us and our planet. Through our gardens and Biomes we inspire visitors to reconnect with the natural world around them - and to want to help preserve it. The money you spend in the Eden webshop goes towards our environmental education programmes.

Over 40,000 under-16s from 900 different schools visit our 'living classroom' each year. They get a unique opportunity to delve deep into the rainforest and form the vital connection with their environment that inspires them to want to conserve it.
