Arabica coffee trees originating in Ethiopia produce 70% of the world's coffee beans. The world famous blue mountain coffee, mocha coffee, etc., almost all Arabica species. Arabica coffee trees are suitable for high mountains with large temperature differences between day and night, and ten soils with low humidity and good drainage; the ideal altitude is 500 meters to 2000 meters, and the higher the altitude, the better the quality. However, due to its weak resistance to pests and diseases, it is more difficult to plant than the other two coffee trees.

Robusta is planted in lowlands with an altitude of 200 - 600 meters. It likes warm climate. The temperature requirement is 24 - 29℃. The rainfall requirement is not high.
