The caf bean was grown on a plant native to Garqi, an agriworld in the Cassander sector. The bean grew plentifully on the Outer Rim world, and was harvested and exported to the Core Worlds as a luxury foodstuff; this cultivation was particularly encouraged following the Imperial annexation of the Cassander sector shortly before the Battle of Yavin. The Garqi caf beans produced gourmet-quality caf, a bitter, caffeinated beverage brewed with hot water and ground beans. According to the Jedi Knight Corran Horn, who spent some time on the planet in 6 ABY, the Garqians never mastered the art of brewing caf beans into decent caf, despite hosting numerous tapcafes.
