King Coffee is an unusual name for an apple that claims to have a coffee flavour! As the apples ripen into October they become maroon coloured with its flesh sweet and juicy with a hint of coffee?
In the spring King Coffee is very late showing signs of growth. Customers have sometimes asked if it is alive! However it soon grows once into growth. Therefore good for growing where earlier frosts are an issue.
Introduced in 1934 at an RHS Fruit conference and material supplied to the National Fruit Trials. Not a well known Worcestershire apple but worth including in a collection.
