Members of the genus Coffea are evergreen shrubs or small trees and often inhabit the understory of tropical forests. The elliptical waxy leaves are borne oppositely along the stems and often feature prominent venation. ... The small fragrant white or pink flowers frequently open after a dry period and may last only a few days. The fruit, known as a “coffee cherry,” is a one- or two-seeded drupe and can be red, purple, yellow, orange, blue, or black when mature, depending on the species. The “coffee beans” are the rounded oblong seeds, each with a flat face marked by a lengthwise groove.
