Coffea arabica
Coffea arabica is a radiant tropical foliage plant with a compact, bushy, and upright growth habit. The Coffea arabica is valued for its attractive glossy, dark green leaves. Originally, Coffea arabica occurs as an evergreen, herbaceous perennial in the tropical regions of Ethiopia and Angola, where it grows in moist forests at high altitudes. This compact Coffea arabica makes an excellent houseplant. As a houseplant, under the right conditions, Coffea arabica can produce fragrant flowers and fruits containing coffee beans after a few years. In the meantime, it is primarily a glossy beauty and truly a plant with a great story. Coffea arabica is also known as the Coffee Plant. Other internationally used names for Coffea arabica include: Coffee (arabica); Coffee tree; Cafeto; Cafeto arabica; Caféier arabica; Cafeier d'Arabie; Caffeeiro; Arabischer Kafeebaum; Bergkaffee; Kaffeestrauch; Arbusto de caffee; Caffee (arbusto); Arabische Koffieboom; Arabiskt Kaffe; Kona coffee.
