## Coffee

Coffee grows from **coffee beans**. Plant them on farmland like any other seed, and the plant grows through five stages: a sprout, a seedling, a young bush, a bush hung with green cherries, and finally ripe red cherries. Bone meal speeds it along.

- **Harvest** a ripe plant for 1 to 3 coffee beans. Fortune adds more.
- **Break it early** and you get your one bean back.

### Finding beans

Hamsters nibble at grass and leave seeds behind, and coffee beans are among them; a hamster that falls drops a seed too. Farms raised by magic plant them as well.

### What it is for

Coffee beans are brewed, a whole stack at a time, into **Coffee**: a cup that keeps your mana flowing for eight minutes. See [Potions]($potions). Coffee and a slime ball make **Coffee Jelly**, a quarter of an hour of the same - see [Crafting & Smelting]($mechanics/crafting).
