Meaning of coffee :
Coffee: Coffee is the common name for seeds produced by shrubs of the Coffea gender of the family of the rubiaceas. The plant grows worldwide in volcanic soil in tropical and subtropical climates between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, a 25-degree latitude belt on both sides of the equator (about 80 countries grow coffee, 30% comes from Brazil and a second major exporter is Colombia). It grows, from sea level up to 6,000 feet, but the best coffee arabica grows around 5,000 feet. The tree doesn’t like heat greater than 90°F, and frost will kill the coffee plant. Among the 30 or so species included in the Coffea gender, only three produce quality coffees: Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora, known as Robusta. A third variety, Coffea liberica, produces coffee in marginal quantities. There are varieties grown indoors as household plants because the coffee plant can do well there. Some varieties of coffee plant typically grow over 30 feet. But, in cultivation, for ease of picking of the coffee berry, the plant is seldom allowed to grow over 15 feet. The Arabica plant is typically smaller than the Robusta plant and is a tree-type plant with a straight-up trunk with branches paired off outwardly. Coffea robusta is a shrub-type plant that grows similarly to a bush, in that it has several trunks.
