Coffea arabica o cafeto arábica es el que se cultiva desde más antiguamente y representa el 75% de la producción mundial de café. Produce un café fino y aromático, y necesita un clima más fresco. El cultivo del arábica es más delicado, menos productivo y está reservado a tierras altas de montaña, entre 900 y 2.000 msnm. Originario de Etiopía, hoy en día se produce en países como: México, Brasil, Camerún, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haití, Jamaica, Java, Kenia, Perú, Puerto Rico, República Dominicana, El Salvador, Tanzania y Venezuela. 1, record 3, Spanish, - cafeto%20ar%C3%A1bica
