Coffea stenophylla
Also called Highland Coffee, Sierra Leone Coffee, Narrow Leaf Coffee, Stenophylla Coffee, Highland Coffee Of Sierra Leone, Highland Coffee Tree
Coffea stenophylla is a species of coffee shrub or small tree from the Rubiaceae family, native to the highlands of West Africa. It is grown as a coffee plant rather than as a houseplant, and it needs warm, humid, frost-free conditions with partial shade.
Coffea stenophylla, also known as highland coffee or Sierra Leone coffee, is a species of Coffea originating in West Africa.
As of 2020, it was not commercially cultivated, because its low yield and small berries make it inferior to the two economically dominant species, Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora (robusta).
C. stenophylla is native to the West African countries of Guinea, Ivory Coast, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
