CoffeeX Arabica Premium

Coffee Arabica originated in Ethiopia, in the Kaffa region, where it was discovered growing wild in about the 15th century. From there, it spread to the rest of the Arab world via Yemen. It was not until the second half of the 17th century, when the desire to drink coffee had also taken hold of Western Europe, that the coffee plant began to migrate, ending Arabia's monopoly in the cultivation of the coffee tree. Thus, the cultivation of the coffee plant spread to India (Malabar), Java and even to the American continent. To this day, Coffee Arabica or simply "Arabica" is the most widespread variety, accounting for 60-70% of world production.
