The Beginning

 

Coffee plants belong to the Family of Rubiaceae and Genus of Coffea. The genus of Coffea consists about 25 species. But only three species are suitable for commercial purposes. They are Coffea arabica, Coffea robusta and Coffea liberica.

 

Coffee plants were originally from Continent Africa. Coffee Arabica was brought to Malaysia in 1779. However, Coffee Arabica was not growth well in Malaysia. Later, Mr. Leonard Wray successfully introduced Coffee Liberica in 1875.
