The Coffea plant is an evergreen shrub or small tree best grown at altitudes over 3,000 feet around the Equator. The word Arabica is derived from the early discovery of coffee in Yemen, South of the Arabian Peninsula. Arabica coffee beans brew coffee more suitable and enjoyable for drinking.  Arabica coffee has more flavor, more attractive aroma, and contains less caffeine than Robusta coffee. In general, Robusta Coffee is sharp and bold and has high caffeine content, while Arabica coffee is smoother and milder.    © Copyright 1999 United Intertrade, Inc.
