Liberica is a coffee type that originated in Liberia, West Africa. The coffee tree grows up to 9 metres in hight, producing cherries that are larger than the cherries found on Arabica trees. The coffee was brought to Indonesia to replace the Arabica trees killed by the coffee rust disease at the end of the 19th Century. The coffee itself has more in common, cupping wise, with Robusta. It is still found in parts of Central and East Java today. It is known as Baroko in the Philippines where it is a major crop.
