Last Updated: 2025/08/21, At present, the most important coffee beans in the world mainly come from three original varieties: Arabica, Roberta and Liberia. The Arabica coffee tree, which originated in Ethiopia, accounts for 70% of the world's coffee production, and almost all the world-famous coffee varieties are Arabica species. Arabica coffee trees are suitable for growing in high mountains with large temperature difference between day and night, as well as low humidity and good drainage.

At present, the most important coffee beans in the world mainly come from Arabica, Robersta and Liberia.

Arabica coffee trees originating in Ethiopia account for 70% of the world's coffee production, and almost all of the world's famous coffee varieties are Arabica.

Arabica coffee trees are suitable for planting in high mountains with large temperature difference between day and night, as well as soil with low humidity and good drainage. The ideal altitude is 500 meters to 2000 meters. The higher the altitude, the better the quality. However, due to the weak ability to resist pests and diseases, it is more difficult to plant than the other two coffee trees.

Robusta coffee trees are native to Congo, Africa, and account for about 20 -30% of world production. Robusta coffee tree is suitable for planting in lowlands below 500 meters above sea level. It has strong adaptability to the environment. It can resist harsh weather, resist pests and diseases. It does not need too much manual care when preparing soil, weeding and pruning. It can grow freely in the wild. It is an easy to cultivate coffee tree. However, its style is more bitter than Arabica, and its quality is much inferior, so it is mostly used to make instant coffee. Because it is grown in Africa, most Africans drink Robusta coffee.

Liberia coffee tree is produced in Liberia, Africa. Its cultivation history is shorter than that of the other two coffee trees. Therefore, the planting places are limited to Liberia, Suriname, Guyana and a few other places. Therefore, the output accounts for less than 5% of the world's output. Liberia coffee tree is suitable for planting in lowlands. The coffee beans produced have extremely strong aroma and bitterness.
