Coffee Coffea liberica

The coffee plant is a relatively small tree or shmb belonging to the family Rubiaceae. It is often controlled to a height of 3 to 5 meters. Coffea arabica (milds) accounts for 69% of world production Coffea canephora (robustas), 30% and Coffea liberica and others, 1%. Each of these species includes several varieties. After the spring rains the plant produces white flowers. About sis months later the flowers are replaced by fmit approximately the size of a small cherry, hence they are called cherry. The fmit on a tree can include underripe, ripe (red, yellow, and purple color), and overripe cherries. It can be selectively picked (ripe only) or strip picked (predominantly ripe plus some underripe and overripe).

Unblended Coffee. Two species provide most of the world s commercial coffee namely, Coffea arabica and Coffea robusta. A third species, Coffea liberica, provides about 5% of American coffee. As a rule, only Arabica coffee, which possesses finer aroma, flavor, and body than robusta, is offered unblended. Robusta coffee, which is neutral in the cup, is widely used in commercial blends. 

Coffea dewevrei De Wild, is considered by some to produce coffee of even lower quality than Robusta. In some places it has replaced Robusta and can sometimes be grown by native populations where the other two species fail. It is of the least importance to world commerce. The trees are large leaved and often called Liberica and Excelsa. The trees grow to over 30 feet in height if not pruned and are planted about 12 by 12 feet, averaging close to 302 to the acre.
