About 86,000 bags are Arabica and 62,000 bags are Robusta species. Brazil is the largest producer with about 48,000 bags. There are about 124 species of the genus Coffea. The two most commercially important are Coffea Arabica and Coffea canephora (also called robusta). Arabica is the most popular because it is considered to produce the best tasting cup. Robusta is still very popular because it has a wider range of growing conditions, is hardier than Arabica, and contains about 2x the caffeine.

Although The Company cannot be sure why the coffee plant produces caffeine, it must serve some essential role for the plant.
