Coffee production is increasingly challenged by the effects of climate change. We’ve written about drought and frost in Brazil and environmental issues in other regions. Like agriculture in general, coffee growers are looking for a way to keep growing good products in a warming environment.
The vast majority of coffee that is consumed around the world consists of only two species: arabica and robusta. There are, however over 120 other species of coffee. One species,stenophylla was considered extinct at one point but was rediscovered and may help provide resistance to climate change.

Stenophylla may be the coffee you will regularly wake up to several years from now…
