Liberia
A West African nation with a small but historically significant coffee sector.
Liberia gives its name to Coffea liberica, a distinct coffee species discovered there in the 19th century. While arabica dominates global trade, liberica persists in West and Southeast Asian markets with its bold, smoky, jackfruit-like profile. Liberian coffee production remains modest today, but the country holds botanical importance as a genetic resource for coffee breeding programs.
