From the Paper:

"According to an article found in the Magazine, Whole Earth, Coffee is also referred to as Java, Khavey, Crank and Joe. Coffee is a member of the genus Coffea part of the Rubiaceae, family of flowering plants (Pendell). These flowering plants are most common in tropical climates. Although there are many forms of Coffea the article reports that only two Coffea species are generally cultivated (Pendell). These two species are Coffea Arabica and Coffea canephora. The article reports that Coffea Arabica is the best and most highly priced of the two and the original source for this type of coffee is Ethiopia (Pendell; Roussel & Verdeaux)."
