The genus Coffea is native to tropical Africa, originating in Ethiopia, Sudan, Madagascar, the Comoros, Mauritius, and Réunion. Coffee is a brewed drink made from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from certain Coffea species. While usually served hot, iced coffee is also popular, and moderate consumption is benign or mildly beneficial for health.

2. The genus Coffea is native to tropical Africa
specifically having its origin in Ethiopia and Sudan
and Madagascar, the Comoros, Mauritius, and
Réunion in the Indian Ocean.
Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted
coffee beans, the seeds of berries from certain
Coffea species.

3. • It is usually served hot, although
iced coffee is a popular
alternative. Clinical studies
indicate that moderate coffee
consumption is benign or mildly
beneficial in healthy adults, with
continuing research on whether
long-term consumption lowers
the risk of some diseases.

4. History
• According to legend,
ancestors of today's Oromo
people in a region of Kaffa in
Ethiopia were believed to
have been the first to
recognize the energizing
effect of the coffee plant.
• However, there is no direct
evidence that has been
found earlier than the 15th
century indicating where in
Africa coffee first grew or
who among the native
populations might have used
it as a stimulant.

5. Biology
• Coffea arabica is predominantly
self-pollinating, and as a result,
the seedlings are generally
uniform and vary little from their
parents. In contrast, Coffea
canephora, and C. liberica are
self-incompatible and require
outcrossing.
