ON THIS PLANT
Coffea stenophylla, also known as highland coffee or Sierra Leone coffee, is a species of Coffea originating from West Africa.It is currently not commercially cultivated due to its low yield and small berries, which makes it inferior to the two economically dominant species Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora (robusta).Research is being done to evaluate the sensory and agronomic benefits of commercially cultivating it as a method of expanding the genetic diversification of global coffee stock and increasing resilience to both climate change and crop disease pressures.
