The cultivation of Arabica coffee trees in Cameroon (Cameroon) began in 1913 as the Blue Mountain Coffee from Jamaica, but the country also produces large quantities of Robbins coffee. The quality and characteristics of Cameroon coffee is similar to that of coffee from South America. The best coffee in the country comes from Bamileke and Bamoun in the northwest. Here, it also grows some giant coffee beans and bean-shaped berry coffee.

Since the late 1980s, coffee production in Cameroon has declined, from 1.8 million bags in 1987 to 1.1 million bags in 1990, while Arabica coffee has dropped from 400000 bags to 200000 bags in the same period. Now, due to the strengthened management of the National Coffee Supervision Bureau (National Coffee Supervisory Agency), the output and quality of coffee may pick up.

Cameroon coffee is a "freak" in the boutique coffee market. first of all, it is coffee from West Africa, unlike coffee beans produced by other East African countries such as Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Luanda. Cameroon coffee is traditionally belonging to the Robusta species, with the exception of the northern provinces are engaged in coffee cultivation Arabica coffee is grown in response to the demand of foreign coffee market, but it does not mean that Robusta is all inferior coffee. Arabica beans are mainly distributed in the high-altitude areas of the west, northwest and east. The average elevation of the western highlands is about 5000 feet above sea level. The organic environment formed by the rainy season and dry season coupled with black and fertile volcanic soil and natural barriers is very good for the production of high-quality Arabica beans.

From the Boyo Cooperative, coffee is grown at the same time as other crops to avoid the risk of infection without the use of herbicides and insecticides. Coffee flowering coincides with the beginning of the rainy season, and then the coffee berries begin to ripen. Rich sunshine in the dry season stimulates coffee cherries to reach the optimal sugar content quickly. Farmers pick fully ripe coffee cherries by hand and then wash them. Direct Coffee was introduced for the first time to PB beans from Boyo Cooperative in Cameroon.

Cameroon PB beans are bigger than Kenya beans, but the yellowish brown color shows that they are sweet beans.
