After I read your reference to Thomas Jefferson
and coffee, I "googled" the topic and found the

I poked around, too, and found this on some site:
The French became interested in the Indian coffee, but their attempt to propagate coffee in southern France, near Dijon, failed because the tree does not tolerate frost.
So we would need a greenhouse to get a homestead coffee tree through the winter.
Btw, in rereading Eliot Coleman's useful book: Four-Season Gardening, I was again take by his note that his Maine location is the same latitude as southern France.
