Coffeebury, also known as Coffea arabica, is a species of flowering plant in the Rubiaceae family. It is native to the highlands of Ethiopia and Yemen, and is widely cultivated in tropical regions around the world. The plant is valued for its seeds, which are used to produce coffee, a popular beverage enjoyed by millions of people daily.

The Coffea arabica plant is a shrub or small tree that can grow up to 8 meters tall. It has glossy, dark green leaves and produces small, white flowers that are pollinated by insects. The fruit of the plant is a red or purple berry, which contains one or two seeds. These seeds are roasted and ground to produce coffee, which is known for its smooth, mild flavor.

Coffea arabica is one of two species of Coffea that are commonly used to produce coffee. The other species, Coffea canephora, is known for producing a stronger, more bitter flavor. Both species are valued for their unique characteristics and are cultivated in coffee-growing regions around the world.

Coffea arabica is also known for its environmental impact. The plant requires a specific climate and soil conditions to grow, and its cultivation can lead to deforestation and soil erosion. However, efforts are being made to promote sustainable coffee farming practices, which aim to minimize the environmental impact of coffee production while maintaining its quality and flavor.
