Arabica (Coffea arabica)

Coffea arabica, commonly known as Arabica coffee, is a species of coffee plant that produces the most widely consumed coffee beans globally. Originating from Ethiopia, Arabica plants thrive at high altitudes with cooler temperatures. They tend to have a smoother, sweeter flavor with aromatic notes, often featuring hints of fruit and sugar. Arabica beans contain less caffeine than other types like Robusta, making their coffee generally milder and more refined. Cultivated carefully, Arabica coffee accounts for about 60-70% of the world's coffee production, valued for its quality and nuanced taste profile.
