Coffee Facts
Coffee is a brewed beverage prepared from the roasted or baked seeds of several species of an evergreen plant of the genus Coffea.

Coffee is slightly acidic and can have a stimulating effect on humans because of its caffeine content. It is one of the most popular drinks and most traded agricultural commodities in the world.
- A coffee bean is a seed of the coffee plant (Coffea, a species of flowering plants), and is the source for coffee. It is the pit inside the red or purple fruit often referred to as a cherry.
- The two most economically important varieties of coffee plant are the Arabica and the Robusta; 75-80% of the coffee produced worldwide is Arabica and 20% is Robusta.
- There are almost more than 120 species of coffee plant in the world and Coffea arabica, known as Arabica coffee, accounts for 75-80 percent of the world’s production. Coffea canephora, known as Robusta coffee, accounts for about 20 percent and differs from the Arabica coffees in terms of taste. While Robusta coffee beans are more robust than the Arabica plants, but produces an inferior tasting beverage with a higher caffeine content.
- Coffee plants are small trees native to tropical and southern Africa and tropical Asia. When grown in the tropics, it can grow to an approximately height of 3.5 metres (12 feet).
- Coffee plants do not stand in cold weather but produce their best beans at high altitude in a tropical climate where there is rich soil.
