Coffea canephora
L.

Coffea canephora (Robusta Coffee; syn. Coffea robusta) is a species of coffee which has its origins in western Africa. It is grown mostly in Africa and Brazil. It is easier to care for than Coffea arabica and hence is cheaper to produce. Since arabica beans are considered superior, robusta is usually limited to lower grade coffee blends as a filler. It is however included in instant coffee, and in espresso blends to promote the formation of "crema". Robusta has about twice the amount of coffein compared to arabica. Approximately one third of the coffe produced in the world is robusta. Image File history File links Detail of Coffea canephora branch, flower and leaves. ...
