The Arabica species has been consumed since ancient times. It grows on plateaus or in mountains located between 700 and 2,000 meters, within the intertropical zones, mainly in Latin America, Central America and in some African countries. The caffeine content is 1 to 1.5%, much lower than that of the Robusta species. Properties and characteristics of the product.

Various studies accredited by universities and international organizations point out that moderate consumption of coffee is recommendable for health. It is a natural product that can help maintain concentration and memory and increase physical and mental performance. In addition, it provides virtually no calories, contains certain micronutrients (vitamins, potassium) and represents an important source of antioxidants, which delay the aging of cells and protect against cell mutations.

Organic coffeeis the one that is grown without the use of pesticides or fertilizers, using only natural methods. The cultivation of organic coffee is similar to what was traditionally done: under shade, interspersed among trees such as orange, banana or lemon.
