Why Grow Coffee in the UAE

Coffee is a shade-loving understorey plant, which makes it well suited to shaded courtyards, covered balconies, and bright indoor-outdoor spaces in the UAE — away from harsh direct sun. It is grown as much for its lush, glossy foliage and jasmine-scented blossom as for the novelty of harvesting your own coffee cherries. Compact and easy to manage, it adds an elegant tropical touch to the home.
