Coffea racemosa is a species of flowering plant in the Rubiaceae family that is endemic to the coastal forest belt between northern KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa and Zimbabwe. It is an open-branched shrub or small tree that grows up to 3.5 m (11 ft) tall and has white to pinkish singular flowers. The fruit is near-spherical in shape and purple to black when ripe, and the beans are one third of the size of Arabica beans. It has naturally low levels of caffeine, and was widely cultivated by the Portuguese during the 1960-1970s in Mozambique. Currently, there are only two plantations at Ibo Island and in Hluhluwe that remain. The beans are roasted and ground to a powder then used to make coffee, and salt is sometimes sprinkled over them as they are roasted.
