The genus of plant known for producing the coffee bean, Coffee (Coffea) are native to Asia and Southern Africa. As the seeds of some species produce coffee, those species of coffee are a sought-after commodity. These plants produce red-purple fruits called pea berries, which is also where the coffee beans can be found. Most coffee is made from Coffea Arabica or Coffea Canephora, with Coffea Arabica being the only species in the genus considered a viable option for growth as a houseplant.
