Robusta coffee
Coffea canephora
The story
Deep within the landscapes of central and western sub-Saharan Africa, Coffea canephora began its journey. Belonging to the Rubiaceae family, this resilient flowering plant would eventually become known globally as robusta coffee. Over time, two distinct varieties emerged from its lineage: the widely recognized robusta and the lesser-known nganda, each carrying the botanical heritage of their African homeland.
