Coffee beans are baked from the fruits and seeds of this plant.

Coffee trees belong to the genus Coffea of the family Rubiaceae, a dicotyledonous family of angiosperms. There are about 70 species of coffee plants, of which there are two important commercial crops, one is Coffee Arabica, the other is Coffee Canephora. Many people have never heard of the Congolese species, which is the so-called Robbata species. In fact, the Robusta species is only one of the Congolese species, but it is well-known, so it has become synonymous with the Congolese species.

Arabica species account for about 60% of current coffee production, and there are many varieties, such as Tipica and Bourbon, which have a generally popular flavor. But the disadvantage is that the disease resistance is weak. Most of the coffee familiar to consumers, such as Mocha, Kilimanjaro and Blue Mountain Coffee, are the commodity names of Arabica.

The Congolese species, which accounts for about 35% of the current coffee production, has a unique aroma and strong bitter taste like wheat tea, and is characterized by strong disease tolerance. since 1900, because of serious disease problems in the Arabica species, the Congolese species have become rapidly popular.

Other Liberian species (Coffee Liberica), produced in parts of Asia and West Africa, account for less than 1-2 per cent of total coffee production. Don't the remaining 60 or so coffee trees have commercial value? It is impossible to say for sure at this point. With the remarkable progress in biochemical technology in recent years, all kinds of coffee trees are likely to have new utilization value.
