Species
Arabica is the dominant specialty species, originating in the southwestern Ethiopian highlands (and historically Yemen). Plants prefer higher elevations and milder temperatures; cups typically show brighter acidity and more aromatic complexity than canephora. Legacy coffee_beans ranges below are SPECIES-LEVEL TYPICAL bands migrated as-is — not universal.
