The Arabica Coffee plant features glamorous, glossy, elliptical dark green leaves with prominent veins and wavy margins. Its fragrant, jasmine-like aroma emanates from star-shaped white flowers that bloom in axillary clusters. After flowering, the plant produces deep red, shiny, plum-like cherries, each containing two arabica seeds, or coffee beans. May take a few years to produce beans.
