Coffea arabica

Coffea arabica, commonly known as Arabica coffee, is a species of coffee plant that produces the majority of the world's high-quality coffee beans. It originates from Ethiopia and thrives at higher altitudes with cooler temperatures. Arabica beans are generally milder, sweeter, and more aromatic than other coffee varieties, with nuanced flavors often described as fruity or floral. They contain less caffeine than varieties like Robusta, making them popular for specialty coffee. Arabica plants require specific growing conditions, including rich soil and consistent rainfall, and are cultivated primarily in regions with tropical or subtropical climates.
