Indigenous Coffee

This is another indigenous coffee tree, called the Soetdoring (Sweet Thorn). I previously blogged about the Boerboom (Famer's Tree). As best I know, none of our indigenous coffees are specially cultivated and marketed. Few people have ever heard of them, never mind tasted them. OBSERVATION: My fascination with such things has grown since I married E, who has a good knowledge of the veld. The generation before her still has a very good knowledge of the veld -- but they are dying out now and the knowledge is dying with them.
