About Coffea dewevrei:
Coffea dewevrei- historically called Excelsa- is one of the most intriguing coffee species in the world. First discovered in Central Africa in the early 1900s, it was long misunderstood and grouped under Liberica. But landmark DNA research in 2025 finally confirmed what producers and tasters suspected all along: dewevrei is a distinct species with its own genetic identity, ecology, and flavour profile.
Thriving in mid-elevation regions and known for its resilience to climate stress, dewevrei offers a unique cup experience marked by fruity sweetness, nutty spice, light acidity, and a smooth, lingering finish.
Our Dewevrei Adventure brings this rare species to your cup- 100% single-origin, grown with care, and now available on our website. It’s an invitation to explore a lesser-known branch of the coffee family tree and a glimpse into the future of coffee diversity.
