Hello

Coffea seeds loose viability very fast if removed from the tree and peeled. Use only the dark (brown) fruit, peel and clean (important) it. You will have two seeds per fruit. Set it in warm (22C-24C) water for 24h. Remove the silver/transparent (parchment) skin. Place the seeds (flat side down) on top of the soil. Do NOT burry or cover the seeds with soil (light is a requirement for germination). The soil should be damp NOT wet. For me a Coco/Perlite-Mix works best. Place the seeds in a bright spot. Temperature of 22C-26C is okay for germination. Do not let the soil dry out. Fresh seeds should germinate in one or two weeks. The roots grow first and after some time the bean lifts up. It will take some time for the cotyledons (kiemblad) to free themselves from the bean. Coffea is easy to grow (from fresh seeds). Be careful when watering. Too much water will kill the roots of young seedlings. Protect young seedlings from intensive, drect sun.

Good luck
