The Americas

Some species of the Coffea genus grow naturally in Latin America because they evolved before the Atlantic Ocean separated the Americas from Africa. Really! We have seen truly wild coffee in Nicaragua.

Coffee as we know it originated in Africa, but a majority of both arabica and robusta are produced in Latin America: Mexico, Central America, several Caribbean islands, the northernmost regions of the Andes, and of course Brazil are known for quality and quantity. Students have found rich grounds for research here.
