Coffea arabicaCoffea arabica is an evergreen shrub with opposite pairs of glossy dark-green leaves. Each blade is oval, sharply pointed and gently rippled between the side veins, g iving the polished surface a quilted appearance. Fresh growth opens bronze to light green before deepening along the slender branches.Small fragrant white flowers form in tight clusters where the leaves meet the stems. Pollinated flowers develop into green coffee cherries that ripen through yellow and red to deep crimson, and each fruit normally contains the two seeds known as coffee beans. At full maturity the branching shrub can develop a small tree-like outline. Show more
