Product Description

Cola acuminata, an evergreen tree about *0 metres in height, has long, ovoid leaves pointed at both the ends with a leathery texture. The trees have yellow flowers with purple spots, and star-shaped fruit. Inside the fruit, about a dozen round or square seeds develop in a white seed-shell. The nuts aroma is sweet and rose-like. The first taste is bitter, but it sweetens upon chewing. The nut can be boiled to extract the caffeine. This tree reaches *5 meters in height and is propagated through seeds. C. nitida and C. acuminata can easily be interchanged with other Cola species.
