A forgotten African species of coffee that grows at higher temperatures could save the coffee industry, scientists believe.
Coffea stenophylla from Sierra Leone can tolerate higher temperatures than Arabica, the world s most popular coffee, according to climate change experts.
But the species also has a superior flavour, with notes of peach, blackcurrant, mandarin, chocolate, caramel and elderflower syrup.
According to professional tasters from Nespresso & Jacobs Douwe Egbert (JDE), its flavour is a bit like high-end Arabica .
C. stenophylla, also known as the highland coffee of Sierra Leone , is a rare and threatened species that was rediscovered in the wild in the West African country back in 2018.
