The Fascinating Journey
The coffee tree, scientifically known as Coffea, is native to tropical Africa. This flowering plant produces the coffee cherries that contain the beans we know and love. Over centuries, coffee has spread worldwide, becoming an essential part of global culture.
Coffee trees thrive in a region known as the “coffee belt,“ which stretches between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The unique combination of altitude, rainfall, and temperatures in these regions gives coffee its diverse flavors.
