K7 Coffee

Common Names: K7 Coffee, Kenyan Arabica Coffee Tree

K7 is a historic Kenyan Arabica variety selected for its exceptional disease resistance and drought tolerance. It copes remarkably well with Perth’s dry summer heat compared to other Arabica cultivars. It produces high yields of premium coffee cherries with a rich, complex flavour profile, making it a brilliant choice for backyard coffee growers and rare plant collectors looking for a tough, productive coffee tree.

K7 coffee trees grow into vigorous, upright evergreen shrubs with glossy green foliage, fragrant white blossoms, and dense clusters of dark red fruit. Selected originally from French Mission Bourbon strains, K7 is known for its natural tolerance to coffee leaf rust and drought. It handles container growing well and responds cleanly to shape pruning.

Interesting Notes:

Developed at the French Mission in Muhroni, Kenya, K7 is famous in the specialty coffee world for its distinct cupping quality, often carrying notes of blackcurrant, chocolate, and subtle citrus. Its natural hardiness makes it one of the most reliable Arabica choices for Mediterranean home microclimates.

A resilient, productive tree to add to any backyard food forest or shaded patio setup.
