coffee plant
Caffeine crop source
A coffee plant is a tropical shrub or small tree of the genus Coffea, cultivated for the beans contained in its red berries.
The plants thrive in warm climates at higher elevations, with most commercial production coming from Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora (robusta).
The coffee plants on that hillside take three years to produce their first harvest.
