Coffea stenophylla |
Coffea stenophylla, also known as highland coffee or Sierra Leone coffee, is a species of Coffea originating from West Africa.[2][3]
It is currently 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).[3]
Research is being done to evaluate the sensory and agronomic benefits of commercially cultivating it as a method of expanding the genetic diversification of global coffee stock and increasing resilience to both climate change and crop disease pressures.[3][4]
