Coffea

Coffea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. Its seeds, commonly called coffee beans, are harvested to produce coffee.

Rubiaceae: Rubiaceae is a large family of flowering plants that includes Coffea, gardenias, and quinine-producing cinchonas. Coffea belongs to this family, whose shared traits place the genus among flowering plants.
Coffee production: Coffee production encompasses growing, harvesting, processing, and preparing coffee beans for trade or consumption. It connects Coffea cultivation to the finished crop.
Ethiopia: Ethiopia is a country in the Horn of Africa and part of the native range of Coffea arabica. Its forests are central to arabica’s origins and genetic diversity.
Coffee: Coffee is a brewed beverage made from roasted and ground seeds of Coffea plants. It is the best-known product made from seeds of this genus.
Coffea arabica: Coffea arabica is a coffee species native to the highlands of Ethiopia and South Sudan, widely cultivated for its seeds. It is one of the two principal cultivated coffee species in the genus.
Coffee cultivation: Coffee cultivation is the agricultural practice of growing Coffea plants for their fruit and seeds. It determines where and how members of the genus are grown.
South Sudan: South Sudan is a landlocked country in East-Central Africa that includes part of Coffea arabica’s native range. Arabica’s natural distribution extends beyond Ethiopia into this region.
Coffeehouse: A coffeehouse is a public establishment where coffee and other drinks are prepared and served. The beverage derived from Coffea helped make coffeehouses distinctive social spaces.
Coffea canephora: Coffea canephora is a tropical African coffee species whose cultivated varieties include robusta. This second major cultivated species shows the genus is not limited to arabica.
Coffee processing: Coffee processing removes fruit tissues from harvested seeds and prepares them for storage and roasting. Processing separates the useful seeds from the rest of Coffea fruit.
