Coffee is native to Africa and has many varieties. Each variety is associated with specific climatic conditions and a certain altitude. Wild coffee trees are evergreen shrubs, 3 meters to 3.5 meters high, with white flowers on the branches, with jasmine fragrance. The fruit is 1.5 to 1.8 cm long, red, with two seeds arranged next to each other, each seed surrounded by an endocarp and a pellicle.

There are about 60 species of genus plants in the world, of which only 25 are cultivated for coffee, of which only four are used as commercial coffee: Coffee liberica, Coffee canephora, Coffee arabica and Coffee deweverei.

Coffea canephora, also known as Robusta, is the second largest coffee variety in the world, accounting for about 20% of the world's coffee production.

The berries of medium fruit coffee are larger than small fruit coffee, and the ability to resist diseases is strong. It is suitable for growing in the tropical climate of 200-300 meters above sea level. The caffeine concentration is high, about 2%-4%, but the entrance is sour and astringent. It is mainly planted in Indonesia, India, Uganda and other tropical countries, and most of it is used as instant coffee.

Coffea canephora, also known as carnivora coffee, is the second largest variety of commercially produced coffee in the world.

It is suitable for growing in tropical climates at low altitudes, because it has a bitter and rubbery taste in the mouth, so it is mostly used to produce instant coffee.
