Where Found
Coffee cherries are typically found in the equatorial biome growing on coffee cherry trees. They are a late summer / early fall crop that spawns after apples.
Farming
Coffee cherries grow seasonally on coffee cherry trees and are harvested by hand. Coffee cherries may also be collected by felling the tree that bears the fruit and picking them up from the ground. Agriculturally, the fruit can be placed in a block of dirt or compost to grow a coffee cherry tree for farming additional coffee cherries.
