The Natal plum is a common and often conspicuous s The Natal plum is a common and often conspicuous shrub in coastal bush and sand dunes.
Name : Carissa macrocarpa
Common names : Natal Plum, Big Num-num, Grootnoem-noem, Amatungulu, umThungulu
It is a fast-growing, ornamental shrub that is wind resistant. It usually forms a dense thorny shrub but it can grow into a small tree up to 4 m high. It has Y- shaped thorns, the young branches are green and all parts of the plant exude a white, milky, non-toxic latex.
The flowers vary in size, up to 35 mm in diameter, are pure white and sweetly scented. The large, oval red fruit is edible and is rich in Vitamin C, magnesium and phosphorus. A pink dye can be made from the fruit. It flowers from spring to midsummer. 
The name Carissa is derived from the Sanskrit corissa, the name of one of the Indian species. The specific name macrocarpa is derived from Greek : macro = large and carpus = fruit. The common name amatungulu is the Zulu name amaTungula meaning 'fruit of the umThungula'.
The shrub makes a good garden hedge and the fruits can be eaten raw or made into delicious jams or jellies. This ornamental shrub attracts birds and butterflies to the garden.

I had a great chat to David Walstra the owner of @ I had a great chat to David Walstra the owner of @seam.coffee when I was in JHB and got to try 3 of their amazing coffees : Timor-Leste Raimutin Village, Mexico Margarita Hernandez and Burundi Nyagishuru. 
Who is Seam Coffee? 
☕ Connects coffee farmers and coffee drinkers through ethical and sustainable trade. 
☕ Seam was created with the idea that the coffee trade should be different. 
How does Seam Coffee do this? 
☕ Visit farms, learn about struggles and, most importantly, shake hands on a price that exceeds the cost of production
☕ "We do things differently. By working together, a producer’s profits can be maximised through the coffee you buy. We maximise the impact coffee can have." 
☕ 100% of the profit we generate goes to producers, directly through payments for coffee and through community-level investments."
☕ "If coffee can create community where it is consumed, we believe it should build communities where it is grown." 
Early in 2023 Seam Coffee will be making a move to a new production premises - a 450m2 warehouse. 
This warehouse space will have their Nespresso compatible capsule plant, carton (coffee) packaging, cupping lab, training facility, green coffee storage and a new Loring roaster. 
"Coffee needs to be about farmers before coffee influencers; about social justice & equity before brew methods; about common sense over profit." 
Seam Coffee like to do things differently and they recently launched their anti-subscription coffee model.

My favourite way to cool down in summer is with a My favourite way to cool down in summer is with a refreshing iced coffee. I brewed up @houseofcoffeesza Special Blend Ground using my French Press, let it cool down and kept it refrigerated in a jug for an hour. 
The cold coffee can then be used for iced coffee, milkshakes or for cocktails. An Iced Coffee Cocktail that contains caramel and gin is especially delicious. Watch the video to see how I mixed up this cocktail!
