Coffee is one part of the plant.
This library explores another.
Across coffee-growing regions, people have boiled, dried, smoked, fermented, and shared the leaves of the coffee plant — alongside the bean, in households, for a very long time.
Some of these traditions are documented. Some are being studied. Some are still being explored — including by us, at Thumpassery Estate.
