Coffea Arabica, also known as Arabic coffee, is a plant known for producing the highest quality coffee beans in the world.

Originally from the Ethiopian highlands, this species has spread throughout the world and is now cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions. It is prized for its rich, aromatic coffee that is less bitter and has a more complex flavor profile than other coffee varieties.

Care: With the environment in mind, we always recommend growing in peat-free soil, e.g. our own mixed soil . This soil mixture reduces the risk of overwatering and root rot. Coffea Arabica thrives best in indirect light and should be kept in an environment with high humidity. Water regularly but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to avoid overwatering.
